Our Chairman Martin is honoured at the Gorsedh Kernow 2025

Gorsedh Kernow 2025

The Gorsedh Kernow 2025, the Cornish Gorsedh, was held on a windy Folly Field at Marazion overlooking Mounts Bay and St Michael’s Mount. This year Martin Eddy, Chairman of St Neot Local Historians was made a bard. His citation stated it was for seeking new ideas to improve his community in Kernow, for the good of others. He was given the bardic name Spyrys an Derrow, Spirit of the Oak.

Fellow St Neot bards Jill Thomas (Myrdh Elerghi: Daughter of Veryan) and Nick Hart (Ewydh Sen Neot: Musician from Saint Neot) were amongst the 100 bards assembled at the event which was spoken entirely in Cornish.

Gorsedh Kernow was established with the aim of celebrating and promoting Cornwall’s distinctive Celtic culture. With blue skies, blue seas and blue-robed bards it was a beautiful day. Pictured is Martin with St Neot Local Historians President Jill Thomas.

The transposing of the typed Baptisms, Marriages and Burials pages found in St Neot Church in 2024 has now been accomplished! Chris & Barbara Timms have created a searchable database onto which the 11,907 entries have been entered. Download these databases and keep them for your family research. Happy hunting!

St Neot and Warleggan Archive will be open on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 10 - 12. It may be accessed at other times by ringing Chris Timms on 07887640270 or Martin Eddy on 01208 821613.
