Liskeard Unlocked - Crying The Neck

After a prayer and a reading the last cut of corn (the neck) is raised amid set shouts and responses, all in both the Cornish and English languages.

Visitors will be given the responses in both languages so they can join in as the neck is raised towards the North, East and South (never to the West as this could result in a poor Harvest the following year). Assisted by a local choir a rousing rendition of Trelawny will be sung to end the occasion, which is held by 40+ Old Cornwall Societies across the County.
