Brenda Wootton (née Ellery) (1928 - 1994) was a Cornish poet and folk singer and was seen as an ambassador for Cornish tradition and culture. She began her musical career as a young schoolgirl, singing in village halls throughout the remote communities of west Cornwall. Wootton became active on the folk scene in the early 60s and almost single-handedly kept the Cornish folk song tradition alive for many years.
