My research was made possible by a studentship from the AHRC, via the South West and Wales Doctoral Training Partnership. I would like to thank the SWW DTP’s administrators, Rose Jones and Chantelle Payne, whose help was very much appreciated. I also received financial support from the Q Fund, through Cornwall Council, the Cornwall Heritage Trust, and the David Cawthra Fund at the University of Exeter. I am deeply indebted to those at my co-supervisory institutions, Cardiff University and the University of Exeter. I am sincerely grateful to my supervisor, Prof. John Morgan O’Connell, whose insight and guidance has been crucial in the direction and completion of my research. Elsewhere within the School of Music in Cardiff University I would like to thank librarians Mary Williams, Judith Hurford, Judith Rose and Charity Dove, and my fellow PhD students for their support and friendship. I would also like to thank my co-supervisor, Dr Garry Tregidga at the Institute of Cornish Studies at the University of Exeter, for his support throughout my research. I am grateful to acknowledge the many individuals in my field sites and research locations who helped me in both professional and personal capacities. So many people assisted me that I cannot name everyone; anyone noticing their name is missing from the following, please know that you have my sincere gratitude. In the USA, I thank Eleanor Kenitzer, Gage McKinney, and the Grass Valley Carol Choir singers; without their kindness and help I could not have undertaken both the fieldwork and archival work crucial to this project. I would also like to thank the staff at the Grass Valley Downtown Association, Doris Foley Library and the Searls Historical Library, and the State Library of California. During my studies I was v awarded a five month AHRC International Placement Scheme Fellowship at the Library of Congress. This was a formative time for me and I would particularly like to thank Mary Lou Reker and Travis Hensley at the Kluge Center, and all the scholars I shared that space with in 2016. Staff across a variety of Divisions patiently assisted me with my research. At the American Folklife Center I am hugely grateful to, Jennifer Cutting, Nancy Grose, Todd Harvey and Steve Winick. I would also particularly like to thank all at the Recorded Sound and Manuscript Divisions. In Australia, I would like to thank the librarians and archivists at the National Trust at Moonta, the State Library of South Australia, the Migration Museum, and the National Library of Australia. In the Copper Triangle, I would like to thank Mayor Paul Thomas, all those at the National Trust, the Family History Unit, Kernewek Lowender Committee, and the Progress Association. In particular I would like to thank Trevor Bowden, Liz Coole, June Ladner, Fred and Pam Reynolds, Graham Sobey, and Gordon and Anita Woods. Elsewhere, I would also like to thank members of the Cornish Association, Terry and Margaret Johnson, and Philip and Dee Payton. Importantly, I would like to thank John Buckingham for introducing me to the Padstow carols in 2010, and Noel Carthew, who sent me the Cornish-Australian carol books in 2011; that was the very start of what has been a life changing journey and I want to acknowledge it. In the UK, I would like to thank the staff of the Cornwall Record Office, Angela Broome at the Courtney Library at the Royal Cornwall Museum, and the Cornish Studies Library, and the librarians at the British Library. I would like to thank Joyce Froome for her assistance in proofreading. Finally, I am forever grateful to my friends and family for their unwavering love and support over the course of what has been an equally exciting and demanding four years. vi Table of Contents Declarations ................................................................................................................. iii Acknowledgements ........................................................................................................ v Table of Contents ........................................................................................................ vii List of Figures ............................................................................................................... ix List of Plates .................................................................................................................. x List of Tables ................................................................................................................ xi List of Examples ......................................................................................................... xii List of Charts............................................................................................................... xii Conventions ............................................................................................................... xiii Abstract ........................................................................................................................ xv Chapter 1: Carols, Cornwall and the Diaspora ................................................... 16 1.1: Introduction: The Neglect of Cornish Carols ................................................ 16 1.2: Cornwall, its History and Diaspora ................................................................ 24 1.3: Cornish Carols: Ethnomusicological Contributions ...................................... 49 Chapter 2: Cornish Carols: The Emergence of a Genre ..................................... 55 Introduction .............................................................................................................. 55 2.1: Carols in Context: Genre, History, Development .......................................... 56 2.2: Carols in Cornwall: Fuging and Otherwise ................................................... 61 2.3: Carols in the USA .......................................................................................... 88 2.4: Carols in Australia ......................................................................................... 98 Conclusions ............................................................................................................ 107 Chapter 3: Carols as Heritage: Theory and Method ......................................... 110 Introduction ............................................................................................................ 110 3.1: Defining Heritage and its Studies ................................................................ 111 3.2: Heritage in Ethnomusicology ...................................................................... 122 3.3: Musical Heritage: Theoretical Approach ..................................................... 135 3.4: Musical Heritage: Methodological Approaches .......................................... 142 Conclusions ............................................................................................................ 160 Section 1: Cornish Carols: Recovering Heritage Products .................................. 162 Introduction ............................................................................................................ 162 Chapter 4: Grass Valley: Tracing Selection ....................................................... 164 Introduction ............................................................................................................ 164 4.1: Early References to Carolling: ‘The Old-Fashioned Way’ ......................... 165 4.2: Manuscript

  • Cornishness and Englishness: Nested Identities Or Incompatible Ideologies?
    CORNISHNESS AND ENGLISHNESS: NESTED IDENTITIES OR INCOMPATIBLE IDEOLOGIES? Bernard Deacon (International Journal of Regional and Local History 5.2 (2009), pp.9-29) In 2007 I suggested in the pages of this journal that the history of English regional identities may prove to be ‘in practice elusive and insubstantial’.1 Not long after those words were written a history of the north east of England was published by its Centre for Regional History. Pursuing the question of whether the north east was a coherent and self-conscious region over the longue durée, the editors found a ‘very fragile history of an incoherent and barely self-conscious region’ with a sense of regional identity that only really appeared in the second half of the twentieth century.2 If the north east, widely regarded as the most coherent English region, lacks a historical identity then it is likely to be even more illusory in other regions. Although rigorously testing the past existence of a regional discourse and finding it wanting, Green and Pollard’s book also reminds us that history is not just about scientific accounts of the past. They recognise that history itself is ‘an important element in the construction of the region … Memory of the past is deployed, selectively and creatively, as one means of imagining it … We choose the history we want, to show the kind of region we want to be’.3 In the north east that choice has seemingly crystallised around a narrative of industrialization focused on the coalfield and the gradual imposition of a Tyneside hegemony over the centuries following 1650.

  • Summary of Sensory Team Manager Duties
    Link to thesis website Chapter 6 Competing speech communities Chapter 6 Competing speech communities The final chapter of this section focuses on the evolution of folk tradition, and the new spaces created for performance, within the Celto-Cornish movement through the latter half of the twentieth century to the current era of festival culture and Pan- Celticism. It makes the case that the Celto-Cornish movement and the folk revival that arrived in Cornwall in the sixties represent different speech communities, which competed for ownership of oral folk tradition and the authenticity it represented. It must be also be recognised that there is a third speech community with a stake in the celebration of tradition, the local community within which it takes place. One outcome of these competing speech communities is the way in which the same folk phenomena will be used to express quite different identities. The Padstow May Day festivities for example are a celebration that firstly represents a sense of the towns community1 and secondly a Celto-Cornish tradition2 but at the same time is used as an icon by the English Folk Dance And Song Society.3 Underlying this discussion, however, must be the recognition that identity is chaotically unique for each individual and each group of individuals, all of which are at the centre of a “complex web of being”.4 In order to pursue this argument it is first necessary to revisit and examine more closely what is meant by a speech community and how this might affect performance and meaning within oral folk tradition.

  • It Just Belongs to Be! Traditional Music and Cornish Identity London Cornish Association Rosyer Lecture 11Th July 2008 Merv Davey “It Just Belongs to Be”
    “It Just Belongs To Be” It Just belongs to be! Traditional Music and Cornish identity London Cornish Association Rosyer Lecture 11th July 2008 Merv Davey “It Just Belongs To Be” Abstract This presentation first explores the early roots of Cornish Folk Music, what is the significance the Cornish Carol tradition and who were the musicians and dancers represented on the 16th Century bench ends at Altarnon Church. Following on from this the activities of the late early 20th century British Folk Revivalists in relation to Cornish tradition are considered together with the quite different approach taken by the Celtic revivalists in Cornwall. Lastly we will look at the ongoing traditions of today and how they reflect both the past and modern Cornish identity. “It Just Belongs To Be” Folk A genre of music derived initially from a 19th C folkoric notion of a rural cultural idyll which embraced a broader “peoples music” mindset from the 1950s to include industrial songs and an increasing body of newly composed material in “folk Style”. In the past 40 years it has been increasingly driven by commercial and artistic interests so that it is useful to distinguish the term from “tradition “It Just Belongs To Be” Tradition The active process by which a phenomena such as a tune, song or custom changes and evolves within community usage as it is transmitted from one person to the next and one generation to the next. Although influenced by popular, commercial and art culture, it is ultimately driven by the experiences, perceptions and values of a community or an individual reflecting that community “It Just Belongs To Be” Cornish Identity Identity is a sense of being defined by an individual or groups perceptions and understanding of their relationship with other individuals or groups.

  • Worcestershire Has Fluctuated in Size Over the Centuries
    HUMAN GENETICS IN WORCESTERSHIRE AND THE SHAKESPEARE COUNTRY I. MORGAN WATKIN County Health Department, Abet ystwyth Received7.x.66 1.INTRODUCTION THEwestern limits of Worcestershire lie about thirty miles to the east of Offa's Dyke—the traditional boundary between England and Wales —yet Evesham in the south-eastern part of the county is described by its abbot in a petition to Thomas Cromwell in as situated within the Principality of Wales. The Star Chamber Proceedings (No. 4) in the reign of Henry VII refer to the bridge of stone at Worcester by which the king's subjects crossed from England into Wales and the demonstrations against the Act of 1430 regulating navigation along the Severn were supported by large numbers of Welshmen living on the right bank of the river in Worcestershire. The object of the investigation is to ascertain whether significant genetic differences exist in the population of Worcestershire and south-western Warwickshire and, in particular, whether the people living west of the Severn are more akin to the Welsh than to the English. The possibility of determining, on genetic grounds, whether the Anglo- Saxon penetration was strongest from the south up the rivers Severn and Avon, or across the watershed from the Trent in the north, or from the east through Oxfordshire and Warwickshire is also explored. 2. THECOUNTY Worcestershirehas fluctuated in size over the centuries and Stratford-on-Avon came for a period under its jurisdiction while Shipston-on-Stour, now a Warwickshire township, remained in one of the detached portions of Worcestershire until the turn of the present century.
