I hadn't thought of that, mate. I bet it was inspired by it somewhere in its origin. I'm reading here it first appeared as a poem in the 1740s. Then, it became popular after appearing in a play called the Masque of Britannia in 1755 at Drury Lane. I'm sure the Zennor story must have been an inspiration since it predates most stories and legends about it 🧜♀️ 🧜♂️.
@ Apart from the story of Mathew trewhella being enticed into sea at zennor, there is a tail of fishermen being told by a mermaid to” move there anchor” as it was blocking her front door! The song reminded me more of that story and it seems this story goes back a long way. I have an interest in mermaid of zennor as my mother was a trewhella.
I'm thinking the same as you, mate. I was learning about the carved pew in the church that depicts the mermaid. That's hundreds and hundreds of years old. The story must be even older. Thats cool mate. I bet it was awesome growing up here with so much history and so many myths and legends. I love living here 😊👍
@@ShaunMitchell-vAmunRa Yes it’s a fascinating place to live! There is also a pew in towednack church with the trewhella name on it. Mathew trewhella’s father James was church warden there in 1633. I do know he did exist because he is recorded in our family tree. So there is some evidence to the story.👍
