Anthony Payne, the Famous Cornish Giant
HIS EARLY LIFE
Anthony Payne was perhaps the greatest celebrity in the history of Stratton, the older sister town of Bude. He was born in the manor house on Sir Beville Grenville's estate, now known as The Tree Inn.
Anthony Payne was perhaps the greatest celebrity in the history of Stratton, the older sister town of Bude. He was born in the manor house on Sir Beville Grenville's estate, now known as The Tree Inn.
As a young man he was taken into the establishment at Stowe, the historic abode of Sir Beville Grenville. There the sons of the Cornish gentry were brought up together with Sir Beville's own children. He excelled in academic subjects and showed great strength and skill in games. Unlike many large men his mental and intellectual faculties increased with his amazing growth. By the time he was 21 he was seven feet two inches tall in his stockinged feet, and later added a further two inches in height.

Bude Lifeboat
Bude lifeboat station has operated for over 125 years and the crews have been presented with awards for gallantry. It's different from other Lifeboat stations in as much as it has to launch into the surf by tractor and with the often treacherous weather conditions of the unpredictable Atlantic Ocean, the crew, who are all volunteers, have to be very skilled! {p style="text-align: left">For years the Bude Lifeboat Station was only open during the summer and dealt with mainly beach safety issues and the rescue of people who, for example, had been cut off by the tide. These days Bude Lifeboat Station is open all year with both the Boat crew and a hard working Shore crew who maintain and prepare the lifeboat. These guys deserve to take just as much of the glory as the Boat crew because without them the Bude Lifeboat wouldn't be float. Did you know that under strict RNLI guidelines, if the lifeboat capsizes and the engine is flooded, that engine is never used again? It is sent off to be repaired and sold on, and a new engine is fitted to the lifeboat.
