408 CORNISH DEDICATIONS. 



Tudy died in tlie latter half of the 6t]i century. 

 In Brittany there are churches and chapels to S. Tudy at 

 Landiidec (Lann-Tudec), Loc Tudy and He Tudy. L'Isle Groix 

 regards him as its patron, for it is held that he died there. The 

 Isle de Q-roix is off the mouth of the Blavet, about which were 

 settlements of Grildas, and also of Cennyth. So that wliether a 

 son of Grildas or a disciple of Cennyth, he was stationed near 

 his father or his old master. 



At the Chapel of S. Tudec, near Gourin, on the outskirts of 

 the forest of Toul-Laeron in Spezet, between Carhaix and 

 Chateauneuf in Finisterre, the pardon is on the second Sunda}^ in 

 September. The pilgrims lay their caps filled with rye at the 

 feet of the saint. He is invoked against headache and deafness.* 



At Tredudec (Tref- Tudec) in the Cotes du Nord, S. Tudy has 

 been supplanted by S. Theodore, warrior martyr, whose statue

The feast of S. Tudy in Brittany is on May 9. 



On this day a fair was granted to be held at S. Tudy in 

 1705, as also on September 3. 



The feast at S. Tudy is now on May 21, i.e. Old Style St. 

 Tudy's Day. 



S. Veep, Bishop, Confessor. 



Bishop Stapeldon, 1308, Bishop Grandisson, 1349 and 1361, 

 Bishop Stafford, 1400 and 1414, name the church Ecclesia S" 

 Vepi. So also the Taxation of Nicolas iv. Only when 

 Grandisson rededicated the church to SS. Cyriacus and Julita in 

 1336 did he call it Ecclesia S*'*' Vep^e. Brantyngham also makes 

 the same, but again 1394 S*' Vepi. The balance is wholly in 

 favour of the saint being male. 



Veep is apparently a corruption of Fiech or Fiacc who has 

 become in Brittany Ve'ho. 



In Brittany the Feast is on June 15, and the Feast at S. 

 Veep is on the Wednesday before Midsummer Day.
