Notable Cornish Druidic Rites Revived After Thousand Years
(Australian and N.Z. Press Association) (United Service) Received Noon. LONDON, Friday. AFTER 1,000 years, the Cornish Gorsedd, a notable Druidic ceremony, was revived on a hillside near Penzance with the initiation of 12 bards, including Sir Arthur QuillerCoueh. The Welsh Arch-Druid, the Rev. J. Williams, wearing a crown of cooper-oak leaves, performed the ceremony within a stone circle older than Stonehenge, surrounded by the Mayors of Cornwall and functionaries in flowing robes.
