The brazier was lit by Nev Meek, President of the Federation of Old Cornwall Societies, to celebrate the important work this movement has done to collect, preserve, celebrate and share all that we hold dear about Cornwall, its history and culture.
We have partnered with the Federation of Old Cornwall Societies on a number of heritage projects over the years. Most recently, these include our Pobel a Gernow (People of Cornwall) plaques scheme, which celebrates the achievements of previously overlooked people who have made a significant impact on Cornish history by installing plaques on buildings that are important to their stories.
