"Bodmin lies in the east of Cornwall, south-west of Bodmin Moor."
Really? Surely it's pretty much in the middle (ok a little bit to the East of the middle).
maybe
"Bodmin lies near the centre of Cornwall, south-west of Bodmin Moor".

According to Aronson (1997; see ref) the Crown Jewels were stored in Windsor Castle: he provides much detail about the gemstones being removed in case these irreplaceable elements needed to be taken hurriedly and discreetly to another site. The story about the jewels being in Bodmin Jail is recorded in a locally produced book on Bodmin (by Pat Munn) and the origin of this story is allegedly that when a guarded convoy of trucks reached the jail a Mr Tooze, a builder then working at the Jail, remarked that "You'd think they'd brought the Crown Jewels!", or words to that effect. This story came to me via Maureen Tooze, the late widow of the late Brian Tooze, the son of the aforementioned 'Mr Tooze'. Both the Toozes were stalwarts of Bodmin Town Museum. It seems that the trucks were carrying a large volume of state archives, including, reputedly, a copy of the Domesday Book. Calc-flinta ( talk) 14:43, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
