This wild and beautiful land was home to the many native Celts who were slowly driven out, during many decades of fierce and bloody conflict, from the temperate midlands and entire Eastern seaboard of Britain by invading European warriors, such as the Saxons, Angles, Jutes, and Franks of Northern Germany. The Celts in general identified these European warriors as one common enemy under a single banner of Saxon. The entire West of Britain, and particularly the South West, remained the last Stronghold of the British Celts for many Centuries. It is in places such as Cornwall, Wales and Scotland that the art of the Celts and ancient Britons has survived, carved into stone tombs and discovered on pottery fragments and ornaments. As the years went by, religious scholars and monks adopted the traditions of Celtic art, creating illuminated texts such as the Lindisfarne Gospels. Their work exemplifies the simple sophistication and originality of form and design. As Christian beliefs spread across the world, the Celtic cross evolved, with the circle that surrounds the cross symbolising the 'great wheel of life' - a belief that is thought to predate Christianity. These carved stone crosses are scattered throughout Britain and are a common site in our Churchyards and by our roadsides today. Celtic art reverberates through the centuries, identified by it's unique simple sophistication of form and design, felt by many to represent an indefinable feeling for the rightness of things. Modern interpretations of Celtic tradition have given us the Arts and Crafts movement, where the ancient Celtic beliefs in elegance of form, and a reverence for the Earth and its creatures, is apparent in the work of designers such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Archibald Knox. The result, as reproduced in the enduring alloy of pewter, is not only a recreation of the past, but a continual evolution of living art, created by modern craftsmen for the people of today.
