Tutor: Cheryl Hayden
H05 is a 20 week course. In term 3, we will cover Part 1 of the course and ask the question: 'What Makes Cornwall Different?' We look at culture, language, ethnicity, religion and traditions and the relationships the Cornish people have had to the sea and to the mining industry. We also look at some of the literature that has formed our understanding of Cornwall and some of the places you might want to visit if you are planning to travel there.

In Part 2 of the course we delve more into the defining events of Cornish history and learn how administrative, political and religious reform 'forced' Cornwall into becoming 'part of England'. In particular, we take a detailed look at the 16th Century, which is your tutor's particular area of expertise.
