GoldsithneyEvery part of Cornwall seems to have a legend or a piece of folklore attached to it. And the beautiful village of Goldsithney is no exception. A legend tells of a wrestling match in which the prize was a glove and, as well as the glove, the village from which the winning team came was allowed to collect all the market dues. Sithney won it year after year, until the wrestlers of Goldsithney, who refused to give up the right to hold the fair each year, won it. The village’s unusual name is thought to come from the fact that the fair was moved here in 1283 from nearby Sithney. The fair is held each year at the beginning of August. |
