Abstract
Jack Clemo was born at Goonamarris, near St. Austell, Cornwall, in 1916. He died at Weymouth in 1994. This study is an investigation of Clemo’s beliefs and writings. It rejects the notion of Clemo as a Calvinist. The work is based on visits to Jack Clemo from 1975 to 1993 and on correspondence from 1975 to 1994.
