But we must look beyond Cornwall to find the origin of the Bassetts. In fact they came from Normandy, as can be well enough proved by the fact that the name of Thurston Basset, a companion of William the Conqueror, is found on the roll of Battle Abbey. Since the days of the Plantagenets the Bassetts have been seated at Telildy, the seat of the present representative of the family In England. In a list of the prominent Cornish families with whom the Bassetts have Intermarried jou find such names as Trenouth, Trengove, Trelawny, Marry s, Enys, Carveth, Godolphin, Prideaux, Some of Grenville and Rashleigh. these once prominent families have since become extinct, but their blood runs in the veins of the Bassetts.

A small bonfire will dispose of all rubbish and leave everything tidy for the next picnic party. Of course, a true sportsman pours water over a fire even If it seems well burned down; that is the only safe way to leave a fire entirely extinguished.
