HOLSWORTHY'S best kept secret — the identity of this year's Pretty Maid — was revealed to a huge crowd as the clock of the Church of St Peter and St Paul struck 12 noon today (Wednesday, July 9). She is 14-year-old Hannah Barriball, from Clawton. Unique to the town of Holsworthy, the Pretty Maid ceremony has been running since 1841, when the Rev Thomas Meyrick began it by bequeathing a sum of £100 to the Pretty Maid Ceremony. SEE the Cornish & Devon Post Series next Thursday (July 17) for a colour special page of pictures and reports on St Peter's Fair and the Pretty Maid Ceremony. The 'Post' now contains a special page devoted to the Holsworthy area each week, as well as special pages for the Launceston area, the Bude & Stratton area, and the Camelford and Delabole area. It's your truly local paper.
