Many sites talking about Cornish Pasties and their history seem to mention pasties going back as far as the 1300's, even if the current recipe dates closer to the 1800's. I'm sending links to two of them which give different historical references.

This could be interpreted as implying that you are describing a period dish. As you probably realize, Cornish pasties are not--as might be suggested by the potatoes in the recipe. The fact that there is a word in French in the 12th century that can be translated as "pasties" does not mean that the 18th century Cornish pasty is period, or even that there was a period food that was similar.
