Grandfather was a stonemason, as was his father. The Prowse family came from St Buryan in the first place, I believe. They were farmers and farm labourers. But the part of the family that moved and lived around Paul were all stone workers. Like his three brothers, grandfather had a granite quarry. His quarry was at Castallack.
Ser men o an tas gwynn, kepar dell o y das. An teylu Prowse a dheuth dhyworth Eglosveryan y’n kynsa le, dell dybav. Tiogyon ha gwesyon tiek ens i. Mes rann an teylu hag a removyas ha triga a-dro dhe Bawl o menweythoryon oll. Kepar ha’y dri broder, an tas gwynn a’n jevo mengleudh growan. Yth esa y vengleudh eev dhe Gastellek.

Grandfather had a stone yard in Paul, where he cut and shaped the rough granite that he had brought from the quarry. His yard was at the end of a lane, behind the pub. A scree of granite littered the site, speckled with feldspar, quartz and mica. In the hedges around the yard there were groundsel, nettles and dock, that drooped in the heat in summer. Above the corrugated iron roof of the shed there was a wooden crane like a mast. In the shed, through spiders’ webs, gold leaf (for gravestones) glittered sometimes.
An tas gwynn a’n jevo garth men yn Pawl, le may treghi ha shapya ev an growan garow hag a dhrosa dhyworth an mengleudh. Yth esa y arth dhe’n penn a vownder, a-dryv an diwotti. Radel a rowan a strolya an tyller, brith gans feldspar, kanndir, ha mica. Y’n keow a-dro dhe’n garth, yth esa madra, linas ha tavol, hag a benndroppya y’n pothter yn hav. A-ugh to horn gevryllys an krow, yth esa garan brennek kepar ha gwern. Y’n krow, dre wiasow kevnis, delen-owr (rag meyn bedh) a derlentri treweythyow.
