Greetings from #Kernow
At Samhain, our good wishes go out from #Kernow to all our Celtic cousins throughout all the nations. #Breizh, #Cymru, #Alba, #Éire, #Mannin. In Newquay we will be raising a few glasses at the @LowenderPeran Celtic Festival along with many of our distant cousins performing here.

15 of the 31 miners who died in the #Levant mining disaster are buried in St Just. William Ellis had a paupers funeral and his grave was unmarked and overgrown. But now his, and the other graves, have been restored by the Miners’ Chapel to act as a permanent memorial.

Plans to increase the use of the Cornish language were unanimously approved by our cabinet committee today. The plan is to make the language more visible across Cornwall on street signs, and to increase its use in written and spoken forms. More here - ow.ly/xvI730oBisP

Since 2009, Cornwall Council has recognised the importance of the language in Cornish identity, and have been replacing old, worn-out street signs with new dual English and Cornish versions. gocornish.org/2019/04/11/cor…

#Cornwall has been called a land of #saints, and #Penwith is no exception- places in the area include St Just, St Buryan, St Levan and St Ives, and the landscape is punctuated by churches, crosses, and ancient chapels. #FolkloreThursday #CornishHistory

Interesting & thought provoking. Numbers learning & able to speak Kernewek fluently is increasing even with central UK government funding withdrawn. Projects by @magakernow & online facilities from @gocornish encouraging further growth. Feel the wrath of the Cornish voter Tory's.
