A PORT Isaac woman has left £3.5-million in her will — with a long list of organisations set to benefit from her great generosity. She was Evelyn Ellen Taylor, who died a year ago.

Among several beneficiaries who will share in her estate of £3,532,701 — published this week — are St Peter's Church at Port Isaac and Port Isaac Village Hall.

Others include the RNLI, British Red Cross Society, Sal­vation Arm, Oxfam, Barnardo's, the Mount Edgcumbe Hos­pice, the Trustees for Methodist Pur­poses (North Corn­wall Cir­cuit), NSPCC, RSPCA, and Macmillan Cancer Relief, and First Air Ambulance Service Trust.

Residents at Port Isaac were delighted to hear of the bequest — the hall is in need of improvement.

Evelyn Taylor's fortune came mainly from the family furniture business.
