Cecil Beer information


Cecil Herbert Beer (1902 – 1998) was a Cornish bard and politician.

Beer was made a bard of the Gorsedh Kernow in 1932, under the name Map Kenwyn. He championed the use of the Cornish language and helped run the gorsedh in Cornwall and Australia.[1] He worked as a civil servant for the War Office, and later for the Post Office Savings Bank. During World War II, he served in the Royal Artillery and rose to become a Major, then became a provost marshal in the Indian Military Police. In 1946, he returned the UK, becoming Meals Organisation Officer for South Wales.[2]

Beer was an early member of Mebyon Kernow, and in 1957 became its second chairman. He held the post for three years, during which he focused on cultural matters.[3]
