Cornwall's top team for the 1949/50 season were St Ives RFC. They went an amazing 19 consecutive matches without conceding a try. Any names? Image from the Cornishman, 20 Apr 1950. #Cornwall #Kernow #Cornish #Kernow/Cornwall

A crowd of 12,000 fans at Redruth RFC watched Cornwall draw 3-3 with Gloucestershire in October 1949. Cornwall were leading until the final minutes, when a monster drop-goal taken two yards inside the Cornish half spoilt the party. Image from the Cornishman, 13 Oct 1949. #Cornwall #Kernow #Cornish
A gathering of 5,000 convened at Gwennap Pit on Whit-Monday, 1949 to sing hymns and hear the preaching of Rev. F Greeves. Image from the Cornishman, 9 Jun 1949.

Who remembers the first incarnation of Mount's Bay RFC? They were an old boys' club formed in Cornwall at the end of the war. Image from the Cornishman, 28 Apr 1949. No names, sadly. #Cornwall #Kernow #Cornish #Kernow/Cornwall
On this date in 1908, an unfancied Cornish rugby team of miners and fishermen made history at Redruth RFC when they won the County Championship. Follow my link here:

Pectoral cross with original silver suspension chain. Obscured by the chain and slightly mangled at the base of the cross is the inlay detail of a haloed figure representing St Matthew
The winged Lion representing St Mark
Eagle relief detail representing St John... I swear it's a parrot 😉
Winged ox representing St Luke
#FindsFriday
The pectoral cross from the #Viking #Galloway #Hoard found in 2014 and dated to AD900. This Christian cross is possibly #Pictish. It is silver with inlaid gold in the #Cornish Trewhiddle style. The animals represent 3 of the 4 Evangelists.

The Cornish community needs to do everything it can to prevent trust being placed in AI Cornish. Otherwise what we will find one day is that we gave up our sovereignty somewhere along the line.

Anonymous writes on the dangers of outting our community's trust in AI, and particularly the threat of Super-fluent Cornish: a language under the thumb of the confused whims of the machine instead of people.

Can't find a #Kernewek word for "dill" (Anethum graveolens). Thought I'd strike it lucky looking in bible translations of Isaiah 28 "Dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge" in the #Cornish bible (Ysay 28) but it uses "fenogel" (fennel) instead as "dill" isn't consistently translated. #langsky
After a pause of almost two weeks, I've finally managed to squeeze in my morning #art practice and produced this small #pastel drawing inspired by views of the #Cornish #coastline. I'm trying to be freer and more figurative.

Picture this, it's 1643, you're fleeing from your witch trial, hoping to wash up somewhere far away, safe. Only to get spotted 'drowning' by the (rather attractive) nobleman's daughter, who 'must save you.'
Would you accept?
