"Britain is divided into four parts whereof one is inhabited by Englishmen, the other by Scots, the third by Welshmen and the fourth by CORNISH peoples" - Polydore Vergil, 1546. Cornwall is neither English nor part of England. See thisisnotengland dot com and cornishnotenglish dot com.
Really? Have you ever read the Kilbrandon Report, commissioned by the government in the 1870s? It is far from being a clear part of England. It even has its own laws still - such as the Stannary parliament, which can override Westminster (I'm not making this up - Whitehall has confirmed this), and different laws regarding estates of dead people.
I couldn't care less whether Cornwall is part of England or not. I'm just a tourist who loves Cornwall.

Officially, Cornwall is part of England. But I am not interested in politics.
