Keskerdh Kernow 500
Encyclopedia : K : KE : KES : Keskerdh Kernow 500
Keskerdh Kernow (Cornish: Cornwall marches on!) was a commemorative march which retraced the original route of the Cornish from St. Keverne (Cornwall) to Blackheath Common, London, to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Cornish Rebellion of 1497, sometimes known as the Battle of Deptford Bridge or the Battle of Blackheath. The rebellion was a protest against the English demand to raise taxes to pay for their war against Scotland.
A statue depicting the Cornish leaders, "Michael An Gof" and Thomas Flamank was unveiled at An Gof's home town of St. Keverne and a commemorative plaque was also unveiled on Blackheath common.
