John Knill was the mayor of St Ives in the 1767. He is remembered now for building the Knill Monument: a mausoleum and local landmark on the outskirts of the town. Nil Desperandum (or 'never despair') is the Knill family motto and it provided the title for the exhibition curated by recent Falmouth University College graduates, Phil Rushworth and Sally Noall.
