[44] The result was that insufficient pitches were provided for travellers, leading to a situation whereby holders of a pitch could no longer travel, for fear of losing it. The total Romani population seems to be an extremely low number when we consider that British Romani people made up just 0.01% of the original 162,000 convict population. This page was last edited on 22 September 2020, at 17:46. In the US most Romanichal are in the Deep South and New England regions. Despite persecution and this new option, the Romani were forced into a marginal lifestyle and subjected to continuous discrimination from the state authorities and many non-Romanies. The Caravan Sites Act 1968 required local authorities to provide caravan sites for travellers if there was a demonstrated need. They are very closely related to the Welsh Kale, Scottish Lowland Travellers, Norwegian & Swedish Romanisæl Travellers and Finnish Kale. Romanichal Travellers , (more commonly known as English Gypsies or English Travellers) are a Romani sub-group in the United Kingdom and other parts of the English-speaking world. Today, most Romani travel within the same areas that were established generations ago. In the present day, Romanichals are more likely to live in caravans or houses. Many atching tans were established by feudal land owners in the Middle Ages, when Romani would provide agricultural or manual labour services in return for lodgings and food. Romanichal Travellers are thought to have arrived in the Kingdom of England in the 16th century. During the reign of Henry VIII, the Egyptians Act (1530) banned Romanies from entering the country and required those living in the country to leave within 16 days. In the years following the American War of Independence, Australia was the preferred destination for Romanichal transportation due to its use as a penal colony. In 1596, 106 men and women were condemned to death at York just for being Romani, and nine were executed. Romanichal Travellers (UK: /ˈrɒmənɪtʃæl/ US: /-ni-/),[6] (more commonly known as English Gypsies or English Travellers) are a Romani sub-group in the United Kingdom and other parts of the English-speaking world. These two dialects along with the accents that accompany them have led to two regional Romanichal Traveller identities forming, these being the Southern Romanichal identity and the Northern Romanichal Traveller identity. [22][23] The process was continued and encouraged by Elizabeth I and James I. [13] Most Romanichals also speak English. [45], In the UK, the issue of "Travellers" (referring to Romanichal Travellers, Irish Travellers, Funfair Travellers (Showman) as well as other groups) became a 2005 general election issue, with the leader of the Conservative Party promising to review the Human Rights Act 1998. It also enables a district council to make an order prohibiting the stationing of caravans on common land, or a town or village green. At the same time, voluntary emigration began to the English overseas possessions. Severe population pressures and the paucity of greenfield sites have led to travellers purchasing land and setting up residential settlements very quickly, thus subverting the planning restrictions. It is often difficult to distinguish British Romani people of Wales and England from the majority of non-Romani convicts at the time, therefore the precise number of British Romanies transported is not known, although there are occurrences of Romani names and possible families within the convict population; however it is unclear if such people were members of the established Romani community. The exact number of British Romani deported to Australia is unknown. [41][42], The Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960 states that no occupier of land shall cause or permit the land to be used as a caravan site unless he is the holder of a site licence. [20], Racism against Romanichal and other travelling peoples is still endemic within Britain. [34], Mass industrialisation of agriculture in the 1960s led to the disappearance of many of the casual farm jobs Romanichals had traditionally carried out. There was casual work available on farms throughout the spring, summer and autumn months; spring would start with seed sowing, planting potatoes and fruit trees, early summer with weeding, and there would be a succession of harvests of crops from summer to late autumn. [36] They have also produced notable boxers such as Henry Wharton and Billy Joe Saunders as well as some notable footballers like Freddy Eastwood Ben Hughes Australian and World Whip Cracking champion, and journalists, psychotherapists, nurses and all manner of professions.

[7][8], Nearly all Romanichal Travellers in Britain live in England, with smaller communities in South Wales, Northeast Wales, and the Scottish Borders. [46], They also argued that the root of the problem was that many traditional stopping-places had been barricaded off and that the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 passed by the previous Conservative government had effectively criminalized their community, for example by removing local authorities' responsibility to provide sites, thus leaving the travellers with no option but to purchase unregistered new sites themselves. In the days of horse-drawn wagons and Vardos, Romanichal women would do their laundry in a river, being careful to wash upper body garments further upstream from underwear and lower body garments, and personal bathing would take place much further downstream. Of the 13,386 caravans, 1,300 were parked on unauthorised sites (that is, on land where Romani were not given permission to park). [21], England began to deport Romanichals, principally to Norway, as early as 1544. The Romani people have origins in India, specifically Rajasthan[16] and began migrating westwards from the 11th century. [37], Romanichal Travellers and Irish Travellers argued in response that thousands of retrospective planning permissions are granted in Britain in cases involving non-Romani applicants each year and that statistics showed that 90% of planning applications by Travellers were initially refused by local councils, compared with a national average of 20% for other applicants, disproving claims of preferential treatment favouring Travellers. The Romani people are also known by a variety of other names; in English as gypsies or gipsies (which is normally considered as a slur) and Roma, in Greek as γύφτοι (gíftoi) or τσιγγάνοι (tsiggánoi), in Central and Eastern Europe as Tsingani (and variants), in France as gitans besides the dated bohémiens, manouches, in Italy as zingari and gitani, in Spain as gitanos, and in Portugal as ciganos. [7][39], On most Romanichal Traveller sites there are usually no toilets or showers inside caravans because in Romanichal culture this is considered unclean, or 'mochadi'. The Romani people in England are thought to have spoken the Romani language until the 19th century, when it was replaced by English and Angloromani, a creole language that combines the syntax and grammar of English with the Romani lexicon. In 1506 there are recorded Romani persons in Scotland,[17] arrived from Spain and to England in 1512. [24], The Finnish Kale, a Romani group in Finland, maintain that their ancestors had originally been a Romani group who travelled from Scotland,[25] supporting the idea that they and the Scandinavian Travellers/Romani are distantly related to present-day Scottish Romani and English Romanichals.[26][27]. They can be found all over these areas, with counties like Kent, Surrey, Hampshire, Cambridgeshire, Gloucestershire and Yorkshire have especially high concentrations of Romanichal communities.[9]. Typical Romany surname: common ones include Cooper, Smith, Lee, Boswell, Lovell, Doe, Wood, Young and Heron. Some names may appear as variations, such as Lea or Leigh instead of Lee, Shore instead of Shaw and Grey instead of Gray. AMPTON 1830 Whitchurch - (Burial Hampshire, Ref Gypsies Passing Through) AMYS (Ref Journal of the Romany and Traveller Family History Society) ANCHOR 1785-1880 Bedfordshire, Sussex. Originally, Romanichals would travel on foot, or with light, horse-drawn carts, and would build bender tents where they settled for a time, as is typical of other Romani groups. Over 90% of Britain's travelling Romanichals live on authorised sites where they pay full rates (council tax). [14], Many Angloromani words have been incorporated into English, particularly in the form of British slang.[15]. Like most Itinerant groups, Romanichals travel around for work, usually following set routes and set stopping places (called 'atching tans') which have been established for hundreds of years. Most sites have separate utility blocks with toilets, sinks and electric showers. “Certain surnames are often found amongst the gypsy travelling families,” says Dianne Sutton, from the Romany and Traveller Family History Society.
