The picturesque setting of Kilkhampton Church, adorned with monuments dedicated to the esteemed Grenville family, adds a touch of historic charm to this scene. Major Arthur William Gill was not only an amateur photographer but also a proud Cornishman who gained recognition for his presentations on stills and cine film during the 1920s and 1930s. His lectures were eagerly attended by various groups including The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and the London Cornish Society.
