The Online Parish Clerk for Egloshayle is Geraldine James, who may be reached via Email.

As I have recently taken over the Parish, any and all contributions of data are very welcome. Please feel free to contact me, as I'm continually adding information to my records. The former OPC, Steve Hatton, has a website which may help you, too. Regards, Geraldine.
