"Angletwitch &
Poppydocks
Cornish Dialect Words
Rhymes & Stories
Since 1920 members of
the Old Cornwall
movement have striven to
keep alive Cornish
dialect. They have
collected words, phrases
and stories as well as
writing poetry and
stories of their own
using dialect words. In
1925 the Federation of
Old Cornwall Societies
published its first "Old
Cornwall" Journal and
from then on Cornish
Dialect has appeared in
many issues.

The Cornish Carols
Number 1
Redruth & St Agnes
District
This is a selection
of 33 musical scores of
Cornish Christmas Carols
collected and published
by Robert H. Heath in
Redruth in 1889. Heath
was a local teacher of
music and organist at
the Redruth Parish
church. These carols are
in the Cornish style and
were handed down from
father to son and sung
not only in church or
chapels but also deep
underground in the
mines, on street corners
and in the local inns.
Because they are very
simple with a basic four
part harmony a precise
knowledge of music was
not required to perform
them. Consequently, the
Cornish carried their
"tunes" with them
wherever they went and
Robert H. Heath took
them to South Africa
where he became the
organist at Johannesburg
Cathedral. Today you can
hear them performed from
Grass Valley,
California, to Moonta,
Australia as well as
many places in between
wherever the Cornish
settled.

Cadgwith and
Poltesco
Once
'twas serpentine and fish
By Michael Tangye
West
Briton 11 October 2007
"The
importance of gathering fragments of local history while there is still time
could not be more clearly evidenced than in Michael Tangye's admirable new
book Once 'twas Serpentine and Fish, writes Douglas Williams. Nearly 35 years
ago he sat with the old and retired fishermen "on the stick" plank
bench at Cadgwith and listened to their rich dialect.
He recorded their words and delighted in their stories.
This Redruth bard has brought the research of his own labours and many others
to recall past years. Around all the tales of Cadgwith, Poltesco and Carleon
Cove is an excellent spread of photographs of those old days, magnificently
illustrating his themes."
