Unable to find a clear photo of the UK part of the Mappa Mundi 1280-1290 [in Hereford Cathedral which shows Cornwall as one of four distinct nations of Britain]..... "The British Isles are drawn on a larger scale than the neighbouring parts of the continent, and this representation is of special interest on account of its early date. This is one of the earliest medieval attempts at a detailed map to have survived. The areas retain their Latin names, Britannia insula, Hibernia, Scotia, Wallia, and Cornubia, and are neatly divided, usually by rivers, into compartments, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, England, and Scotland."
An interesting reference in the former and the latter seems to be a clearer indication of the British Isles, and a comparison between them might help you.
I do love maps. I've got a load from "Gardiners Atlas of English History (1904) showing the first home of the English and Kernow referred to as the 'West Welsh'.
I'm not sure how to get them onto this page though. Any help would be appreciated!![/img]
...and the same man was mentioned in this para from an article in the Society Guardian (online) of 04/11/04 in the week of the north-east England regional assembly referendum:
"If Mr Prescott gets his way, he will realise a policy first proposed by CB Fawcett, from Staindrop, in 1919. Since then, the idea has been frequently taken off the shelf by various figures, including the unlikely figure of a Conservative politician, Lord Eustace Percy (Baron Percy of Newcastle), who called for a regional government in the 1930s. A full three quarters of a century later, the matter is being put to the voters, despite the protestations of Percy's modern day political counterparts in the Conservative party."
He was made a Fellow of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society in 1922 - don't tell me he was a Scot?
Double click to view larger. All but one from "Gardiners Atlas of English History 1904" "Ethnography of Europe" from the Edinburgh Geographical Institute 1938.

Some interesting maps, Dyalor, my favourite is the third (Europe 912 AD), showing Strathclyde, Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany as one people.
I disagree, however, with the fifth, as it shows the population of most of Scotland and of Cumbria as Anglian. :x
What about maps of Kernow in Kernewek?
I have the Cornwall Tourist Board's Official Tourist Map (scale 1:180,000) which shows some placenames in (smaller) Kernewek under the English versions.
Is there a Kernewek only map?
