30-32 A draft corrected in the hand of Robert Stephen Hawker of an article [by John

Thomas Blight] on the ‘Chapel of St Loy or St Dellion, in the parish of St

Burain’ which is ‘an evidence of the early introduction of Christianity, and of

the devotion of our pious forefather’; such structures may have been ‘the

residences of hermits, or men of secluded life’; historical notes and a

quotation ‘from my notice of Ancient Chapels’ [c. 1857]

33-36 Memorandum [by Robert Stephen Hawker] on the ‘arch above a small

engraving – it gives a Lady’s Pocket Book aspect to the Picture; in my personal

judgement the Arch over the Pierhead of your Bude engraving dwarfs and

disfigures the total scene. Nothing is beautiful that is untrue… Your

engraving again of Tintagel Castle is an utter failure… Now in your Drawing

no trace appears of the ruins still standing on the peninsula. So the whole

terror of the castled house of Kings is lost…” [c.1857]
