Chysauster Campaigners Call for a 'Reclaim Our Heritage' Picnic

Summary

---

Campaigners who want to see an end to English Heritage's ownership of Cornish sites are claiming the offer of free entry to an ancient village is a step towards their goal.

The 2,000-year-old settlement at Chysauster, close to Ludgvan in West Cornwall, will be free to visit on Gulval Feast Sunday, November 14. It is an opportunity for those who want to see a Cornish heritage group take charge of the site to make their feelings known, say campaigners. "Perhaps allowing free entry to a small West Cornwall site of antiquity for four hours in the middle of November is not a very great step," said protester Howard Curnow. "But in terms of our Cornish heritage, it may represent another chink in the armour of English Heritage. It is an opportunity that needs to be grabbed with both hands by as many people as possible in Cornwall. We need to demonstrate how much we value our Cornish heritage. We hope people will make a special event of it, tell their friends, pack a picnic."
