The Editors Steve and Alison Carreck have links in the village going back to the middle of the 18th century on the one hand and graphic design and public relations on the other.

The BOOK OF PETER TAVY and CUDLIPPTOWN A
Page of Amendments to ‘The Book of Peter Tavy with
Cudlipptown’ Since the Book was published in November 2002 a small number of amendments has been drawn to our attention. Some are clearly errors of fact, some really additional material not available at the time of publication. The Book was never intended as stated in the Introduction as an official history. It is rather a series of impressions of the parish as recalled by those who have lived here and discovered from old photos and records that were lent to us. Half a century is a long time to look back and not everyone remembers events in the same way. A full century allows of genuine misunderstandings in what is passed down in families, wherever possible what has been written has been checked against written records, but this was not always satisfactory, as on occasions when perhaps a newspaper article or photograph had the wrong date. To those who may feel affronted we apologise and to those now offering memories or new information, we ask them to continue to do so for the story of Peter Tavy is rich in history and the Heritage Group wants to preserve it.
