Can someone tell me what will be the difference between a Cornish Assembly and the existing County Council? 86.145.183.192 06:05, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


 * According to the Government of Cornwall Bill (July 2009), the Cornish Assembly would have more direct control over issues such as the Cornish economy. It would be like a Welsh assembly but with the functions of district council, county council and assembly combined into one governing body. --ResYwDhymmDybriChoklet (talk) 23:20, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Is there another way to express the territary of Cornwall as being a sub-entity without calling it a country because Cornwall is by no defintion (other than its own - which may be slightly biased) a country. Welsh and Scottish claims to being a country are hard enough to negiotiate, however cornwall is different (and weaker) case and so is there another way?

 * The Crown territory extends as far as the River Tamar and, west of the river, is the Duchy of Cornwall. That means that all the land in England, Wales and Scotland is owned by the Crown (Queen Elizabeth), and all the land in Cornwall is owned by the Duchy (Prince Charles). The Duchy of Cornwall was legally a separate 'Country' from England until The Act of Unification in 1549, if I am not mistaken. Cornwall is still referred to as 'The Duchy' by local government (and probably by most ordinary people in Cornwall) and my suggestion is that 'Duchy' is an excellent compromise between 'Count(r)y' and 'County' and one that is in common use. The Duchy still legally exists. For example, the Duchy has given permission to English Heritage to look after ancient monuments in Cornwall. I am sorry that Wikipedia does not explain this sort of thing more accurately. The trouble is that many of the English editors here are so biased! :-þ --ResYwDhymmDybriChoklet (talk) 23:11, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Cornwall is a county of England. That is the term we should use. BritishWatcher (talk) 23:17, 12 October 2009 (UTC)


 * The Duchy of Cornwall, like the Duchy of Lancaster, is essentially a land-holding company. Its borders do not cover all of Cornwall, in fact some of it is in Devon, London and Hereford. Here is the map from the official website. Poundbury the most famous part is in Dorset. As for the rest of the delluded stuff; Cornwall is included in England in the Domesday Book of 1086 and was in any case (as part of Dumnonia) brought into Wessex before England itself was founded. Its the Principality of Wales, which the Tudors merged with England in the 1500s. - Yorkshirian (talk) 00:28, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

The article doesn't suggest it's a "country", does it? Although it is administered as a county of England, that is not the whole picture, as ..Choklet suggests. In any event, the article needs a good shake-up - it's woefully out of date, not referring to the unitary Cornwall Council or the abolition of the South West Regional Assembly, for example; and it also overlaps with, and doesn't link well to, articles like Cornish self-government movement and Constitutional status of Cornwall.

 * Its questionable if this article is even needed, especially as its so out of date. Id say it should be a couple of sections on the Cornish self government movement page. BritishWatcher (talk) 11:25, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
