There are several manuscripts in the Cornish language in the Cornwall Centre in Redruth (Plain an Gwarry). Seven years ago they were in the Cornwall Records (Archive) Office in Truro. The new archive building is magnificent – the old “house” was slightly flimsy and temporary (it's gone now). I was fortunate seven years ago today to see two manuscripts in Truro. I read the Lord's Prayer for a news programme on TV. I should like to see that book again. To see words handwritten by great men is special and inspiring.
