Fastest Milkman in the West

During your visit, at the bottom of the staircase leading to the first floor, pause to see one of Mevagissey’s favourite characters — Cyril Furse.

​

Cyril had a passion for Norton bikes and would regularly attend the TT races on the Isle of Man.

​

We have been told that on one occasion he came home with a Norton that had apparently won one of the races.

​

It is rumoured that it was eventually attached to the sidecar that Cyril used to deliver milk around the village.
