In this print from October 1993, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous occasion in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. The image captures the esteemed High Sheriff of Cornwall, Richard Gilbert, accompanied by his elegant wife, as they embark on a guided tour of the town. With Mayor Warren Nicholls as their knowledgeable guide, the couple is taken on an enchanting journey through Lostwithiel's rich history and landmarks.

As they traverse the charming streets of Lostwithiel, one can only imagine the awe-inspiring tales that were shared during this memorable encounter.
