We
never thought we would be hunting seals in Tintagel but we are!
The ancient seal of the Borough has
disappeared. This seal was last heard of in the possession of Mrs. Symons of
Bossiney about 100 years ago. The seal was used to impress sealing wax on to
documents and the mark was as shown.The handle
consists of two acorns and oak
leaves.
To see a copy of the actual charter look in 'Royal
Charter'.
Has anyone seen the seal?
The inscription of the
Seal reads 'SIGILLVM MAIORIS ET BVRGIENSIV BVRGI DE TINTAIOEL'.
