It looked so beautiful last spring that one of their neighbours was inspired to write this poem: THROUGH MY WINDOW I lost my last big blue cat in July. Within a couple of weeks a friend came to see me with a cat basket held at a funny angle. When I asked her what she had in there she invited me to have a look.

  • Kilkhampton, Cornwall Andrew Breeze
    Kilkhampton, Cornwall Andrew Breeze University of Navarre, Pamplona Kilkhampton is a village (SS 2511) and parish in the far north of Cornwall. West of it lies the sea; north, the parish of Morwenstow; east, the headwaters of the Tamar, forming the border with Devon; south, the parishes of Launcells, and Stratton and Bude. Kilkhampton figures as Chilchetone in Domesday Book, Kilcton in a document of about 1175 (in a thirteenth-century copy), and Kilkamton in 1194. The last element is Old English t_n `farm, estate', to which -ham- was later added on the analogy of other places in `-hampton'. But the first element is more interesting, as it is thought to be the Cornish equivalent (known from the lost place-name Kylkethewe in Liskeard parish) of Welsh cylch and Breton kelc'h `circle, ring', from Latin circ'lus `circle'. Why there should be an equivalent of cylch here has been unclear (though it has been taken as perhaps referring to an archaeological feature, otherwise unknown).1 It was suggested by Finberg that Kilkhampton might also be the estate of Kelk granted by King Egbert of Wessex (d. 839) to the bishop of Sherborne. 2 Since Egbert conquered Cornwall in 838, he was in a position to give away lands freely.3 It is true that Welsh cylch is used of archaeological features. The Welsh Brut, translating Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae, uses it of Stonehenge itself.4 Many archaeological features have disappeared 1 O. J.

  • Dudley Baines Has Posed a Key Question for Migration Historians
    “WE DON’T TRAVEL MUCH … ONLY TO SOUTH AFRICA”: RECONSTRUCTING NINETEENTH CENTURY CORNISH MIGRATION PATTERNS Bernard Deacon (in Philip Payton (ed.), Cornish Studies Fifteen, University of Exeter Press, 2007, pp.90-106) INTRODUCTION Dudley Baines poses a key question about nineteenth-century migration: ‘why did some places produce relatively more migrants than others which were outwardly similar?’1 Yet pursuing an answer to this question is problematic in two ways. First, there is no agreed consensus on the scale to be adopted. In Britain most demographic data available to the historian of nineteenth century migration is organised at regional, county or at registration district (RD) level. The average size of the latter units were around 20,000 people. Although this enables investigation at a sub-county level, meeting Baines’ point that neither regional nor county scale is sufficiently sensitive to answer the relative migration question, it does not allow for easy testing of his further suggestion that the appropriate migration unit might be at the much smaller village or local community level. But the fluid process of immigration may need to be approached more flexibly. Charles Tilly has argued that the ‘effective units of migration were (and are) neither individuals nor households but sets of people linked by acquaintance, kinship and work experience’.2 Transferring attention in this way from spatial units to neighbourhood, family or occupational networks tends to emphasise one of the broad approaches put forward by migration historians
