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.

16,000 fans crammed into Camborne RFC in September 1947 to watch the touring Australians beat Cornwall and Devon 17-7. The image, of Australia about to score, is from the Cornishman, 18 Sep 1947.

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.

A very early image of Mennaye Field, Penzance, from 1945 the home of the newly-formed Penzance & Newlyn RFC. Here the 1947 touring Australians limber up. From the Cornishman, 4 Sep 1947.

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?
