Feniton History Group
Thurs 14th Nov 2013 in Feniton Church
.
Jenny's presentation was very well received. It gave the reasons for the uprising, the
lost of the Celtic status of Cornwall and being forced to abandon the old ways
and accept the Protestant Book of Common Prayer in 1549. Cornwall saw itself as
a separate nation.
Beautifully illustrated with slides of Cornwall along
with the sounds of bloody battle and men
on the march.
It is heart wrenching to think of the barbarity of these
events, the battles of Fenny Bridges, Alfington, Aylesbeare, Clyst St. Mary and
the siege of Exeter.
These important events seem lost to time and not really
mentioned in today's Histories. Jenny's research fills that gap.
The evening raised £130 which was split between the
Philippines Disaster and ME research.
I would like to thank
Jenny, the church and the Group
members for all their help on the night to make this a very successful
evening.
