CORNISH DEDICATIONS. 403 



S. TiiEOX, Bishop, Confessor. 



One of the Scilly group now called Tean was formerly 

 known as S. Teon. In the confirmation of the privileges of the 

 abbey of Tavistock by Pope Celestine III the name is given S*^ 

 Theona, Virgo. 



In the 10th cent. Litany of British Saints, published })y 

 Warren, is Toninnaue. In the Eedon Cartulary is mention of a 

 monai^terium S' Toinnaui. In the Calendar of S. Meen he is 

 given on August 2, Touiniaui confessoris. 



Lobineau identifies him with Eoghain of Ardstraw, who is 

 the same as the Cornish Euny. He is the patron of I'louha, in 

 Cotes du Nord, whore he is called Saint Touin, or Ewine. 



The day of Eoghain in Ireland is August 23. 



S. Thecla, Virgin. 

 Mentioned by Leland as one of the company of Breaca, 

 Senan and Maruan. Probably the sister of SS. (iermoc 

 (German) and Helan, and a daughter of Coill. She is called 

 Fracla in the Life of S. Gobrian (Akebran). Thecla is either 

 Leland's mistake, or more probably a mistake of the printer of 

 Heme's edition of Leland. 



S. TiWENNOc, Abbot, Confessor. 



Towednack is called the Chapel of S. Tiwennoc, Confessor, 

 in Bishop Stafford's Kegister, 1414. 



Towednack was a chapelry in the parish of Lelant. A com 

 plaint was made in 1409 by the inhabitants, of the difficulty felt 

 by them in attending their parish church, and bidls were obtained 

 from Popes Alexander v, and John xxiii, for the dedication 

 of the dependent chapels of Tiwinoc and S. Ya, to obviate this 

 inconvenience. This was accordingly done on October 9, 1411.*" 



It has been shown with some plausibility by M. Loth, that 

 Landevennec in Brittany does not mean the church of the Towans 

 or Sandhills, but the Llan of the Ty of Winnoc, which is a con- 

 traction of Winwaloe. This latter point is, however, douljtful, 

 and I am inclined to think that Winoc is Gwenog, the disciple 

 of Winwaloe, see Winoc.
