The Royal Institution of Cornwall Excursion Party stands proudly at the Cheesewring, Linkinhorne, Cornwall - a sight that drew crowds and made headlines. As reported by The Royal Cornwall Gazette, this image immortalizes an extraordinary gathering around the weathered granite tor known as the Cheesewring. At its base, we see distinguished figures such as President J. Jope Rogers and officers alongside other esteemed members of the institution. Their presence adds depth and significance to this geological wonder. The Cheesewring itself is a natural marvel shaped by centuries of relentless weathering. Its unique rock formation has become synonymous with Cornish heritage and draws visitors from far and wide even today. Photographer Richard P. Yeo skillfully captures not only the grandeur of this ancient landmark but also showcases humanity's desire to conquer nature's challenges.
