Nothing springs to mind on the 1st one (my book's packed away for my trip to the UK tomorrow), but the second looks like an incredibly colourful Grey Arches.

Your minor looks like a Middle-barred IMHO.

The second one could be Silvery Arches. That might be an unusual record for Cornwall. I would get it checked before letting it go.

I'm stuck on no.1 but almost certainly a 'Minor'. Being in shadow doesn't help.
no.2 I agree with Chris a very colourful Grey Arches.

In all truth, I would have liked to look at both of these in the hand so to speak.

Thanks folks. Further expert opinion via Atropos Forum considers them Middle-barred Minor and likely Beautiful Brocade.
