CORNISH DEDICATIONS. 109 



distinguisli between several saints wliose names are similar ; at 

 the same time we have to run into one several personages with 

 names, apparently different, but which are actually various forms 

 assumed by one original name. 



S. Elwyn or Elian, the pilgrim, I have already pointed out 

 to be the Cornish 8. Allen. The name of Elwyn, however, 

 remains attached to a chapel and holy well in the parish of S. 

 Eval. The spot is now called Halwyn. The spring never fails, 

 and there are beside it the remains of an oblong structure, 

 probably the chapel. 



His tomb is shown in the church of S. Gwen in Cotes du 

 Nord, S. G-wen was the mother of his intimate friend S. Cuby. 

 In Cornwall, S. Wenn is not far from the chapel and well of 

 S. Elwyn. 



In Brittany he is variously called Elven, El van, Elonay,

 edition, as Sudebrent, and this error has been reproduced by 

 Gilbert. 



Endelienta is invariably represented in the Episcopal

 collegiate. It is most improbable that the canons of Endelion 

 should not have known the sex of the patron saint of the church 

 in which they ministered. In a Provincial Council or 8ynod 

 held in 1341, they signed as the Chapter of 8*"" Endelienta. 



Mr. Borlase conceived the notion that Endelion was 8. Teilo, 

 and when the chapter was formed for Truro Cathedral, Bishop 

 Benson who had purposed to entitle one of the canonries after
