(July 2010) Francis Cargeeg Francis Cargeeg in his workshop, Spring 1951 Born September 14, 1893(1893-09-14) Carnsew, Hayle, United Kingdom Nationality British Field Copperware Francis (Frank) Cargeeg was born on the 14 Sept 1893 in Carnsew, Hayle, Cornwall, South West England. He was the second youngest of 8 children registered as being born to William and Emma Cargeeg over the period 1878-1897. Frank's father was originally a miner seeking tin and copper in the hard rocks of the County. Subsequently he moved up to the position of engine man (driver), initially at a mine and later at Harvey's of Hayle. Harvey's was an internationally known pumping engine and other mine goods manufacturer in the 19th Century. After his initial schooling Frank became an apprentice at Holman's of Camborne, another internationally recognized company. He finished his 6 year apprenticeship in engineering on December 2, 1914. World War I changed the face of employment in UK at that time and Frank went to sea in the merchant marine as 4th engineer on the SS Trevalgan, one of the Hain line ships. After just one voyage he left the vessel on medical grounds. Thereafter he became employed in HM Dockyard, Devonport. In 1939 he decided to leave his safe employment at this large facility and become self employed as an artist in hand beaten copper ware. Unfortunately, World War II intervened preventing him from carrying out his dream, instead he found himself employed in a new factory in Hayle producing dibromoethane, an additive used in petrol allowing higher compression ratios to be used in the most modern aircraft engines of the time - such as the Merlin. After the War he worked in Pool's of Hayle for a few years finally realizing his dream of full time employment in copperware in the late 1940s. At this time Cornwall had a history of copperware, beginning with Newlyn Copper in the late 19th Century. At this time he lived with his wife, Winifred, who he married in September 1919 and his unmarried sister Holly in her cottage, Trevean, at Mellanear Road, Hayle. Jar with Lid For the next 30 years or so he worked from his small workshop here producing bowls, plates, mirror surrounds and vases in copper using only hand tools and other simple equipment. All of his designs followed images based on the products of the ancient Celts - particularly those of the La Tène Culture. He also produced most of the copper regalia for the Gorseth Kernow, including the Grand Bard's Crown, a group of which he had been a member since 1934. He became the Group's Deputy Grand Bard in 1962. The last few years of his life were non-productive due to the onset of age related degeneration. He died on the 25 March 1981 and is buried in St Erth, Cornwall.
