Francis Jago Arundell
Francis Vyvyan Jago was born at Launceston, in July 1780, the only son of Thomas Jago. (He afterwards adopted the additional surname of "Arundell", which had been one of the famous Cornish recusant dynasties - those landed English families who, at the risk of a range of dire penalties, refused to renounce their devout Roman Catholic faith during the English Reformation.) From youth to old age Jago was imbued with a love of antiquarian study, and after his institution in 1805 to the rectory of Landulph he threw himself avidly into studying the history of Cornwall.
