  • Cornwall Childminders EYMES Project Case Study Written by Ann Stott with Contributions from Jenny Crow and Childminders in Cornwall
    Cornwall Music Service Trust Early Years Music Education Service Phase 4 Research Project. Cornwall Childminders EYMES Project Case Study Written by Ann Stott with contributions from Jenny Crow and Childminders in Cornwall “To what extent can monthly Music Activities impact on Childminders practice ​ and their recognition of and response to children’s innate musicality.” In response to enquiries from childminders attending our EYMES CPD events, the CMST EYMES Cornwall Childminders Project was formed. This supported Childminders and their children across Cornwall and was fully funded by CMST EYMES. Ann Stott (Lead for CMST EYMES) collaborated with Mary-Ann Trethewey (Early Years ​ Childcare Support Assistant, Childminder Support, Cornwall Council) to identify Childminders in Cornwall interested in being part of the project. Six groups of Childminders across the county took part in the project. Some groups already met on a regular basis, others were formed specifically to take part in the project. Some of the groups met in Family Hubs for free whilst others collectively paid for a venue. The groups were located in Launceston, Bodmin, St Austell, St Columb, Falmouth and Porthleven. They ranged in size from 3 Childminders and 5 children to 11 Childminders and 26 children. The children in the groups had an age range of 6 months to 36 months and came from a variety of socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds. The Project Ann Stott (CMST EYMES Lead) delivered the project across the six groups, assisted by Jenny Crow (CMST EYMES Music Leader) at Porthleven from January 2020. Ann met with each group in July 2019 to outline the project delivery and research question.

  • Clifford Trethewey
    Clifford Trethewey BOOK 2 Introduction Plymouth’s First Generation It really was quite a sight. Black and white hulls moored three and four abreast, without their spars, as far as the eye could see. John and Ann had been to Plymouth Dock before when the war with France was still being fought and the Hamoaze was devoid of ships. Three years had passed since that time and John was carrying a small boy who had never seen a ship before. That boy would eventually become the father of four brothers who would all join Victoria’s Navy, but that was still years into the future. Ann’s passenger was asleep in a carrying basket as the boatman helped her into the boat with all their worldly possessions. When he pushed them off the beach and deployed his oars before the tide could capture their hesitation, he set the boat’s head towards North Corner. There, they would set foot in Devon and the new life that awaited them. Of course this is a Family History that is more than 200 years old. Facts and records are scarce. I am fortunate in the fact that John and Ann had EIGHT children, but they also buried three of them, yet every record survives to follow their path from house to house and job to job. No Family Historian encourages conjecture, but neither does any family exist without the question ‘why did they do that?’ It has been particularly difficult to suggest a way in which John became a stonemason. He could not have done it without help and in a strange and overwhelming town that help was most likely to come from a relative or a friend.

  • Cornish Language & Names in Family Research

Pyth dysquedhyans a'n Yéth Gernewek a vynnas bos gwelas war ün vysytya dhe Pow Kernow? Good afternoon. Today I will talk about the ancient Celtic Cornish language. What evidence of the Cornish language would be seen on a visit to Cornwall? OK, you may be fortunate enough to attend a church service in Cornish at Truro Cathedral, or seeking out a relaxing place after a hard day’s touring you may stumble upon a small group in a pub talking animatedly in Cornish. The main contact however will of course be in names: People names. We’ve talked about that before here. And Place Names How are Cornish place names different to English place names? Saying "By tre, pol and pen shall ye know most Cornishmen" Cornwall has noticeably different place names from neighbouring England (about 80% of place names in Cornwall are derived from the Celtic Cornish language, most of the remainder being either from English or Norman French. These names are similar in many respects to Welsh and Breton names (Cornish, Breton and Welsh languages are closely related). Examples: Landevennec (Brittany) and Landewednak (Cornwall); Pendine (Wales), Pendeen (Cornwall). What are Cornish Place Names like? Typically, Cornish place names start with elements such as tre (settlement), pol (pool or lake) and pen (hill). Unlike English place names, Cornish ones are structured in 'reverse order' by comparison with English place names.

All rights reserved Kerrier District Council LA0783362001 This gentle walk explores the countryside between Ashton and Germoe. Stretched out along the main road, the countryside around Ashton was once a hive of industry, with quarry horses pulling carts laden with granite down from Tregonning Hill or bricks from Wheal Grey china clay pits. Tucked away in a sheltered valley, is Germoe village with its ancient church Ashton post office c1940. that has changed little over the centuries. 22 Start your walk from the middle of Ashton at the Post Office. Loosely translated the name Ashton means ‘the place of the ash tree’. Today the Post Office is the only shop left in the village.

One shop had a lending library and sold wallpaper, paint, paraffin, knitting wool, reels of cotton.
