The Cornish Overseas

The global migration of the Cornish people is an epic story, told here by Philip Payton, Professor of Cornish Studies at the University of Exeter. Payton charts the movement of the Cornish through history, within the UK and to the major mining and agricultural districts of the world, including continental America, South Africa and the Antipodes.
