Quick Facts

History & Context

North coast of Cornwall Everyone who has a sense of place and history enters Cornwall from England with the feeling of crossing a cultural border. Changed though it is by recent Anglo-American influences, by the communications and transport revolution, by the international media and by the inward migration of the twentieth century, Cornwall remains nevertheless decidedly special. Cornwall’s name is probably the tribal name ‘Cornovii’ meaning the ‘horn people’ - most likely deriving from their location at the end of the south-western peninsula. The Anglo-Saxons took the first part of the name and added to it ‘Wealas’ (or Welsh) meaning ‘foreigners’. This has been commonly misconstrued as the Welsh of the West. Evidently, though, the Anglo-Saxons recognised that the Cornish were of different stock.
