Wessex Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wessex Society is a cultural society that aims to promote a regional identity for Wessex. It was founded in 1999, and its activities have included the promotion of the flag of Wessex [1], the creation of Wessex merchandise and the commissioning of an anthem for Wessex, with music by Gloucestershire-based composer Hayley Savage and lyrics by the Dorset dialect poet Devina Symes. Significantly, the Wessex society omits Cornwall believing (as do most Cornish people/other Celtic nations such as Ireland/Wales) that Cornwall was never part of Wessex.
