And I was there this past May on a stunning spring day.  My William Barriball was baptized here and went to North Petherwin to marry Mary Vosper, daughter of Joseph and Mary (Frane) who was from North Tamerton where Daniel Vosper brought his bride Judith Dynham.  North Tamerton was the home of three Vosper generations.  My visit to North Tamerton, not in a village as is Altarnun, was on a day with lots of liquid sunshine; only a few of those stunning carved bench ends have survived here.

Jim,
I also have Northey/Northy who came through Broadwoodwidger, Ashwater and St Giles to North Petherwin.

Best,
Cousin Glenda
