COBNISH DEDICATIONS. 105 



His death probably took place between 530 and 550. His 

 symbol in art is a Yew Tree. 



S. DoGMAEL, Abbot, Confessor. 



Known in Wales as Dogfael, son of Ithel ab Ceredig. He 

 founded S. Dogmael's in Cemmaes, S. Dogvpel's in Pebidiog, 

 and other churches in Pembrokeshire. He was first cousin to 

 Sandde, the father of S. David. 



According to F. Peckham there was formerly a chapel 

 dedicated to him near Liskeard. 



S. Dominica, Virgin, Martyr. 



Indract, son of an Irish Prince, with his sister Dominica, 

 and seven others of noble birth, visited Britain, intending 

 eventually to proceed on a pilgrimage to Rome. 



They came to the Tamar and settled there for a while ; 

 Indract founded Landrake, but he had also a chapel and holy 

 well near the river edge. Of the former a wall remains, and 

 the well is in perfect condition. 



Whilst staying there an unpleasantness arose which shall 

 be mentioned when we come to speak of S. Indract, and the 

 party left and visited Rome. On their return journey they 

 halted at Skapwith, near Grlastonbury, where they were murdered 

 by an official of the Saxon King. 



King Ina in 710 refounded Grlastonbury, and at a later 

 date, a successor removed to it the relics of the saints. 



It is by no means certain that Dominica accompanied her 

 brother to Rome, and was killed at Shapwith. 



The church of S. Dominick, in Cornwall, is dedicated to 

 her and marks the site of her religious foundation. It is 

 probable that she there had a congregation of pious women 

 under her. 



The church was rededicated on May 18, 1263, by Bishop 

 Bronescombe, to Sancta Dominica. The same dedication is 

 given in Bytton's register 1310, and in that of Bishop Stapeldon.
