I found it fascinating and full of interesting information. In the past I have written ancestral biographies and am now engaged in a writing project linked to Dartmoor which led me to finding out more about the meaning of my surname. Having moved to the vicinity of Dartmoor nearly 30 years ago, more by chance than design, it seems I have more connection with Dartmoor than I anticipated! The origin of Warne being either a derivative of Warren (my mother’s maiden name) and the rabbit farmers, or a strong association with tin mining, or meaning swamp alder. I shall look forward to hearing more about Legendary Dartmoor through your newsletter Kind regards. Debbie Warne
