During the turbulent chaos of the 15th century, relics and artefacts held in the Beaufort St. Vincent Abbey were spirited out of the religious order and hidden by two brothers for safe keeping. The monks that hid the items were slaughtered by unholy men, and the whereabouts of the items was lost to history.Years later, a learned researcher uncovered clues concerning the hidden treasure in the Abbey archives, but could not understand them, and on his death, his great nephew Adam inherited the knowledge, but could not make sense of it either. Following Adam's death, the papers were finally discovered in his garden shed by Judas Wells.After years of research, Judas finds the key to unlocking this information by a fortunate fluke, and as he unravels the labyrinth of deception, he is forced to involve knowledgeable archaeologists in his findings. By enlightening these eminent men he not only challenges the accuracy of their historical books, but completely rewrites local history.

This book is about faith and addressed to the followers of Christianity. It is not a history book, nor is it meant to be. Faith is higher than intellect as it requires belief in something that cannot be intellectually proven. However, although not questioning faith per se it does question spurious traditions and biblical errors.If the Vatican continues to remain silent it will be only a matter of time before those at grass roots level begin to demand answers.

This is the story of an ordinary man who had a true love of the sea, but as a consequence of the war had to deal, as did many others, with extraordinary experiences. Leaving his Cornish village of Landewednack in 1921 Charles, then aged fifteen, began his career in the Merchant Navy as a 2nd Class Saloon Boy with the Union Castle Line travelling to South Africa. He moved on to work on the Great Western Railways Channel Island Ferry, working his way up to 2nd then 1st Class Assistant Steward. Before long he was in the Mediterranean working on a cable ship, and for the next ten years on a cargo freighter travelling to Australia and New Zealand. At the outbreak of World War II Charles signed T124X Articles and joined the Royal Navy as 2nd Steward, subsequently rated at Chief Petty Officer and eventually Chief Steward 1st Class. He saw service in several 'theatres of war' including two Russian Convoys and in the Mediterranean (North Africa and Salerno) before being released from Naval Service in 1946. Following this, Charles, like a lot of people who had served in the war, suffered from ill-health and consequently never went to sea again: starting 'another life ashore' with his family.
