A CATALOGUE OF SAINTS CONNECTED WITH CORNWALL, 



WITH AN EPITOME OF THEIR LIVES, AND LIST OF 



CHURCHES AND CHAPELS DEDICATED TO THEM. 



By The Rev. S. BARING-GOUI<D, M.A. 

 President, R.I.C. 



Part I. A—C. 



Pkefatoey Note. 



With the exception of the Rev. John Adams's attempt to 

 elucidate the histories of the Cornish Saints, unhappily brought 

 to an abrupt termination by his tragic death,* and that of the 

 late Mr. W. Copeland Borlase,f and the brief sketch by the Rev. 

 W. S. Lach-Szyrma,:j: no attempt has been made to solve the 

 mystery that envelops the early ecclesiastical history of Cornwall. 

 If these earlier students were not as successful as might have 

 been desired, the reason was that much of the necessary material 

 was not then accessible. 



In the attempt now made, I have no hope of giving 

 absolutely certain results. Cornwall is barren in ancient literary 

 remains of an historical description, and we are obliged to look 

 for help to Ireland, Brittany, and Wales for our material on 

 which to reconstruct the history of the peninsula. 



In many cases, all I can hope to do is to establish probabil- 

 ities for the identifications that I propose. Material is not 

 forthcoming to enable me to do more. One great point on 

 which I rely for these identifications is the grouping of 

 dedications.
