Cornish Feasts and Folk-Lore BOUGHT WITH THE INCOME FROM THE SAGE ENDOWMENT FUND THE GIFT OF MenrQ W. Sage 1891 ,?,.5u..o%.o •z.^AnaX.vI *i^( ^l- CM : CORNISH FEASTS AND FOLK-LORE. BY MISS M: A-^COURTNEY, AUTHOR OF "GLOSSARY OF WORDS USED IN WEST CORNWALL. REVISED AND REPRINTED FROM THE FOLK-LORE SOCIETY JOURNALS, 1886-87. PENZANCE BEARE AND SON, 21, MARKET PLACE. 1890. T BEARE AND SON, PRINTERS, PENZANCE. ; PREFACE. Few Cornish people are probably aware how wide-spread still with us is the belief in charms and charmers, ghosts, and all other superstitions ; nor that there are witches in our county, shunned and dreaded by some who fear their supposed power to ill-wish those who offend them, and sought out by others who want by their aid to avert the evil eye, or by their incantations to remove the spells already cast on them and their cattle by an ill-wisher who has " overlooked " them. Folk-lore is an almost inexhaustible subject. There must be many charms in use here that have not come under my notice a few are too coarse to record, as are some of the tales. A book on folk-lore cannot in this century contain original matter; it must be compiled from various sources. I have when quoting from other writers given my authority, and to communi- cations from friends generally appended their names. To " One and All" I beg leave to tender my sincere thanks. M. A. Courtney. The original of tiiis book is in tine Cornell University Library.

    Ref: LAT210022 GUIDE PRICE: £295,000 A Prime Development Opportunity in Rural Surroundings TAPPARD FARM BARNS DEVERAL ROAD, FRADDAM, HAYLE, CORNWALL TR27 5EP A collection of former farm barns with residential planning consent to create a small and appealing development of three homes together with additional sheds ideal for storage with possible further potential. Tucked away on the rural fringes of popular West Cornwall villages, this sheltered location is easily accessible to the nearby towns of Hayle and Helston. HAYLE (A30) 3.5 MILES * HELSTON 7 MILES * CAMBORNE 5 MILES TRURO 22 MILES * FALMOUTH 17 MILES SITUATION Barely a minute from the B3302 Hayle to Helston Road, this is an extremely central and convenient setting hidden away from most day to day hustle and bustle. The communities of Fraddam, Reawla, Wall, Carnhell Green and Leedstown are all within a 3 mile radius. There is a Post Office/grocery store in Carnhell Green with a more extensive range of shops, doctors’ surgery, dentists and a hospital less than 4 miles away within the north coastal harbour town of Hayle which also boasts a choice of supermarkets and a retail park with Marks & Spencer and Boots etc. The County’s main arterial route, the A30, bypasses Hayle providing easy access to Penzance in the west and the City of Truro in the east and the town also has a station on the main Penzance to Paddington railway line. THE BARNS A courtyard of former farm barns and sheds with Conditional Planning Permission (PA18/03716) for residential conversion into three character homes. Additional useful buildings would be ideal for general storage of building materials and/or vehicles and equipment etc, and may also present potential for alternative use, subject to planning consent.

    Next Meeting: MARCH 3, 2018 First Presbyterian Church, 412 W. Pioneer Avenue, Puyallup, WA 98371 S Spring 2018 Editor: Alene Reaugh The fall meeting was well attended by a more than 20 people including several newly discovered Cornish joining us for the first time. Our Spring Meeting to celebrate St. Piran’s day will be: March 3, 2018. We will put together a nominating committee and discuss the election to be held at our Annual Meeting in July. We will also ask for volunteers to at- tend and represent the Cornish at the Celtic Highland Games held throughout the summer. The games will be in Belfair, Enumclaw, Portland, Salem, Eugene, McMinnville (replacing the Newport Games). Many of us have done this and found it a lot of fun. People stop at the booth with the question, Am I Cornish? And it goes from there. We have met many Cornish and other people who LOVE Cornwall. I have met many people since joining this group. July 2018, we will be celebrating our 20th year as The Pacific Northwest Cornish Socie- ty, a group formed to promote our heritage, history, culture, and genealogy to discover just what it means to be Cornish and who our ancestors were. We are planning a big Anniversary Celebration and hope that we can interest past members and welcome all the newly discovered Cornish. So please put the date JULY 21, 2018 on your cal- endar and join us at Fort Borst Park for a fun party to include balloons and cake, Celtic entertainment, memories, photos of founding members and past events PLUS a lot of good food.

  • A Poetics of Uncertainty: a Chorographic Survey of the Life of John Trevisa and the Site of Glasney College, Cornwall, Mediated Through Locative Arts Practice
    VAL DIGGLE: A POETICS OF UNCERTAINTY A poetics of uncertainty: a chorographic survey of the life of John Trevisa and the site of Glasney College, Cornwall, mediated through locative arts practice By Valerie Ann Diggle Page 1 VAL DIGGLE: A POETICS OF UNCERTAINTY VAL DIGGLE: A POETICS OF UNCERTAINTY A poetics of uncertainty: a chorographic survey of the life of John Trevisa and the site of Glasney College, Cornwall, mediated through locative arts practice By Valerie Ann Diggle Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of the Arts London Falmouth University October 2017 Page 2 Page 3 VAL DIGGLE: A POETICS OF UNCERTAINTY VAL DIGGLE: A POETICS OF UNCERTAINTY A poetics of uncertainty: a chorographic survey of the life of John Trevisa and the site of Glasney College, Penryn, Cornwall, mediated through locative arts practice Connections between the medieval Cornishman and translator John Trevisa (1342-1402) and Glasney College in Cornwall are explored in this thesis to create a deep map about the figure and the site, articulated in a series of micro-narratives or anecdotae. The research combines book-based strategies and performative encounters with people and places, to build a rich, chorographic survey described in images, sound files, objects and texts. A key research problem – how to express the forensic fingerprint of that which is invisible in the historic record – is described as a poetics of uncertainty, a speculative response to information that teeters on the brink of what can be reliably known. This poetics combines multi-modal writing to communicate events in the life of the research, auto-ethnographically, from the point of view of an artist working in the academy.

  • Creative Industries Consortium
    Post of Gallery Manager – Penwith Gallery, St Ives The Penwith Society of Arts was founded in 1949 by a group of artists in St. Ives, under the distinguished leadership of Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth and Bernard Leach; it now has a unique complex of buildings in Back Road West, including public galleries, artists’ studios and workshops. A charitable company – Penwith Galleries Ltd – was created to arrange the programme of exhibitions, execute all gallery business and manage the entire complex. The galleries present year-round exhibitions by Members and Associates of the society, as well as exhibitions by other artists from Cornwall and artists from further afield. The New Gallery and the Studio Gallery are available for hire when our programme permits. The Penwith is an unrivalled resource for the arts in Cornwall and is part of a unique cluster of visual arts activity in the town, working with other partners such as Tate St Ives, Porthmeor Studios, the St Ives School of Painting, the St Ives Archive and a range of other galleries. Gallery Manager Penwith Galleries Ltd (PGL) is now recruiting for the new post of full-time Gallery Manager. We expect that she or he will be an experienced administrator with a real interest in and enthusiasm for art as well as experience in finance, marketing and sales.
