  • 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.

The earliest evidence of a ‘fast’ variant of this technology in Mesopotamia comes from the Early Uruk Period, but the earliest Egyptian depiction of the further development of its ‘kick’ variant comes as late as the reign of Darius. Toys using another variant of this technology were discovered in pre-Columbian archaeological levels at Vera Cruz, but the lack of suitable animals in the New World likely limited its practical development in the Americas. The Standard of Ur shows onagers attached to objects with solid versions of this technology, several hundred years prior to the Anatolian invention of spokes. For 10 points, name this technology, which was first used to enable pottery to be spun, and in the development of chariots and carts. ANSWER: the wheel [accept potter’s wheel] <OSC> 2. A character in this play is accused of ‘Wipin’ the neighborhood with my name like a dirty rag!’ This play begins with a speech explaining how people from a certain cultural background are learning to ‘settle for half’ by trusting the law. A lawyer in this play introduces the community of Red Hook as ‘the gullet of New York’. This play’s protagonist pretends to be surprised after betraying several other characters to immigration officials in Act 2 due to his obsession with the orphan Catherine.

This message no doubt will find you thinking of, perhaps deep into, the month’s holidays. Though most of us are thoroughly Americanized with our family practices, we would hope for room and time to strengthen tradi- tion by “doing Cornish”. I would refer you once again to that wonderful website, www.cornishculture.co.uk. There you can access information about Cornish carols, decorations and other traditions which tie us to our an- cestors. My challenge would be for us, as a service to our families, to emphasize at least one purely Cornish story, play, hymn (Charles Wesley or Thomas Merritt), food, or other practice. Keep and pass on our heritage! The excitement is building for the DVD of “TIN – THE MOVIE”, now available at http://www.tinmovie.com/. Originally produced by Miracle Theatre, established in 1979 as a touring company in Cornwall, “Tin” is a ‘rollicking good scandal…’ according to myCornwall magazine’s April/May 2015 issue. It stars several famil- iar faces…Jenny Agutter and Ben Luxon, to name two…and is the story of the politics of tin production and speculation in Cornwall during the turn of the last century. Selling for GBP16 on its website (be sure to choose the version which is playable for your region of the world), a copy is well within the reach of each of us or our local Cornish societies.

  • Corpses, Coasts, and Carriages: Gothic Cornwall, 1840-1913
    Corpses, Coasts, and Carriages: Gothic Cornwall, 1840-1913 Submitted by Joan Passey to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in September 2019 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Joan Passey Signature: ………………………………………………………….. Words: 91,425 1 Abstract While there are defined Irish, Welsh, and Scottish Gothic traditions, there has been a notable critical absence of a Cornish Gothic tradition, despite multiple canonical and less-canonical authors penning Gothic stories set in Cornwall throughout the long nineteenth century. This critical oversight is part of a longer tradition of eliding Cornwall from literary and cultural histories—even from those to which it has particular relevance, such as histories of the industrial revolution (in which its mining industry was a major contributor), and the birth of the tourist industry, which has shaped the county and its economy through to the present day. This thesis will rectify this gap in criticism to propose a Cornish Gothic tradition. It will investigate Gothic texts set in Cornwall in the long nineteenth century to establish a distinct and particular tradition entrenched in Cornwall’s own quest for particularity from other Celtic nations and English regions. It will demonstrate how the boom in Cornish Gothic texts was spurred by major changes occurring in the county in the period, including being the last county to be connected to the national rail network, the death of the mining industry, the birth of the tourist industry, large-scale maritime disaster on its coasts, and the resituating of the legendary King Arthur in Tintagel with the publication of Tennyson’s Idylls of the King.

  • Q. J. PADEL 81 CORNISH SURNAMES in 1327* I Am
    Q. J. PADEL 81 CORNISH SURNAMES IN 1327* I am interested in Cornish surnames mainly from a place-name point of view, which is also the only one from which I am competent to examine them. In looking at them I am particularly interested in one problem. What is normally thought of as a typical Cornish surname ('By tre, pol and pen you shall know the Cornish men') is originally a place-name every time, and I want to know whether place-name surnames are in fact commoner in Cornwall than elsewhere, and, if so, how far back this characteristic goes. One might note, in passing, that in this respect Cornwall is in marked contrast with Wales, where place-name surnames of that sort are very rare, but agrees with Brittany, where similar surnames are also widespead: they have been studied by F. Gourvil (1970). His work is particularly useful in a Cornish context, for Cornwall in 1327 was still largely a Celtic-speaking country, although in the east the language was fast giving way to English by that date and two areas had been thoroughly anglicised for several hundred years. The 1327 Lay Subsidy Roll is the obvious initial source to use for this purpose. Clearly one would use a wide range of further sources to do a thorough study, but this one record provides a convenient corpus of surnames, evenly distributed across the whole county, at the date when hereditary surnames were probably just beginning to become usual (though, for Cornwall, it remains an open question just when that was).

  • RETALLACK SURNAME March 9 2000 by Greg Retallack
    RETALLACK SURNAME March 9 2000 by Greg Retallack, Department of Geological Sciences, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403-1272:gregr@ darkwing.uoregon.edu;http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~dogsci Abstract Retallack is a name endemic to Cornwall, and traceable in that southwestern English county back to 1497. The name is probably derived from Talek, recorded back to 1349, by addition of a demonstrative pronoun (those Taleks!). Talek in turn is most likely from the old Cornish talawg meaning high forehead. The comparable Welsh name Tallwch and Pictish Talorc can be traced back to the 6th century. There are numerous other ideas concerning the origin of the Retallack surname from Cornish place names, Cornish saints, mine workings and Norse and Greek gods, and these are all reviewed here. Retallacks in Cornwall were largely miners and farmers. Many left Cornwall for the United States and Australia in the 1850's. I emigrated to the U.S.A. in 1977, but my great great grandfather emigrated in 1852 to Australia, where I was born and raised. Introduction The Retallack name is unusual and often requires careful spelling out. Pronunciation is also a challenge (correct is r'-TAL-lack, rhymes with metallic). With the advent of the internet and computer-generated genealogical research I have been getting frequent requests for information on the surname and its ancestry. Here is as much as I can reconstruct. Retallack is endemic to Cornwall, England, where it has been a rare name back to the 15th century (Table 1). Since the 19th century it has been part of a global emigration (Table 2) so that there are now more Retallacks in Australia and the U.S.

  • 1 Introduction
    12 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Background For commentators such as Urry (1990) and Woodward (2004), contemporary tourism has its roots in religious pilgrimage. Whilst this is contestable, for some domestic and overseas visitors, a holiday may, for a minority, incorporate twenty or thirty minutes in a parish church at some point. The roles have been reversed from travel for religious purposes incorporating secular pleasure, compare The Canterbury Tales and, perhaps, the Camino de Santiago (Murray & Graham 1997), to tourism including a visit or two to a religious establishment as just one of the destination attractions (Busby 2002; Olsen & Timothy 2006; Woodward 2004). “A resurgence of interest in visiting sacred sites” is how Shackley (2002) explains the recent growth in visitor numbers to cathedrals and churches despite a decline in the importance of religion in society as a whole (Wilson 1985). Indeed, this form is argued to be one of the major growth sectors in international tourism (Russell 1999; Woodward 2004). Empirical data to confirm these views is, however, quite limited; in fact, both Olsen & Timothy (2006) and Vukonić (1998) emphasise that it is one of the most under-researched aspects of tourism. Nonetheless, at a time of declining church congregations, it is interesting to note the development of documentaries over the last five years, by the BBC, featuring rural churches; whilst A Country Parish and A Seaside Parish paid only passing attention to the physical structures, A Passion for Churches, launched on 28 December 2005, emphasised the quality of building heritage – mention is also made of visitors‟ book comments in episode one, featuring St Hywyns, Aberdaron.

  • Issue 7-4.Pub
    Volume 7 Number 4 FALL 2005 PNCS 8TH ANNUAL PICNIC Once again, it was good to see the familiar and new faces of the PNCS members and families who attended the PNCS’ 8th annual picnic at Fort Borst in Centralia, WA. This was the last meeting that Dick Colenso spoke to us as President of PNCS. I am sure I speak for all , when I thank Dick Colenso for a job well done along with, Bob Bruce as Vice President , Ann Holiday as secretary and Bonnie LaDoe as treasurer. THANK YOU for all your hard work and time, you so willing volunteered to PNCS. We do appreciate you, along with past and future officers of PNCS, without you there would not be PNCS. Fran Anderson gave the Nominating Committee report: Alene Reaugh for vice-president, Bob Bruce for secretary, and Dorothy Huntley for treasurer. No one had been found to nominate for president. There were no more nominations for any of the offices, so the three nominees were elected by unanimous ballot. It was suggested that a co-vice-president position could be created to help the vice-president until a president could be found. This was so moved, seconded, and passed and Presi- dent Dick Colenso appointed Evangeline Anderson to the position of co-vice-president. After lunch Dot Huntley entertained us with a delightful slide presentation of her trip to Scot- land, Isle of Skye, and Cornwall. We will look forward to seeing more of her trip at future meetings. 1 LETTER FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT Hello all Cornish Cousins.
