Trelawny Parish

Well supported

North-coast parish, capital Falmouth, and the heart of Maroon and traditional-music country: Cockpit Country runs through it, and the tambu drum and its couples dance are documented at Wakefield. Ben Johnson and Usain Bolt aside, it is a parish the archive reaches for whenever the subject is older than the record industry.
