There is a big house near Falmouth, built in Victorian Gothic style. It's called "Trefusis House". The Trefusis family came into this country with the Normans. One "Lady" of the family founded the Cornwall Music Festival in 1910. It's 110 years old this year. There are competitions for instrumentalists, singers, choirs, instrumental groups and the spoken word (including Cornish) - every ability, old and young. There are many prizes. Unfortunately it's cancelled this year, on account of the covid 19 virus. I can't read my verses from Matthew II.
