More Cornish town commemorating local heroes who died for Kernow. Let's have some more local Celtic heroes from other nations shared. We all should know more about wider Celtic national history, even about lesser known people who may have given their lives for their nations cause.
For a number of years now two leaders of the 1497 Cornish uprising against the unfair double tax of Henry VII have been remembered each year on 27th June. Michael Joseph An Gof at St Keverne and Thomas Flamank at Bodmin.
For the second year now, in addition to these two, a leader from Camborne, John Rosewarne is being remembered. The
commemoration will involve a march by the children of the town starting at St Meriadoc Middle School at 11.00am. The march will end at the Parish Church where speeches will be made by a number of dignitaries followed by refreshments in the church hall for the children.
During and after the march the children will be singing a song in
Cornish which they have learnt, a marching song written and composed by the late Richard Gendall.
There were a number of named leaders involved in the 1497 uprising and it is hoped that in the future other towns will embrace their local one. Celtic Nation Kernow support all efforts to remember, share and promote Kernow's history and heritage. Let's not forget our Cornish hero's from past times.
