1. Irish Nennius, ed. Todd and Herbert (Dublin, 1848), p. 237.

2. Misses Couch were misled when they visited S. Mawes, and they give a photograph of a well which is not the holy well. The latter is among the houses opposite the post office, and had an arched entrance, now walled up.

5. Not to be confounded with S. Clether of Clodock, in Herefordshire, son of Gwynnar, and from whom the poet Taliesin was descended. The invasion of Carmarthen by Dyfnwal from the north had much to do with Clether's departure.

6. Tremendous confusion has been made of his life, as he has been confounded with a S. Paternus, who was Bishop of Vannes in 462 or 465; and the Cornish Venedotia has been construed as Venettia, Vannes. Nearly a century intervened between the two saints.

12. "The earthwork, of which a great part is still in existence, does not command the steep part of the slope on the other three sides, though the guns would be available against an enemy after he had once established himself on the plateau."

13. Lord Tenterden in the summing up of Rowe v. Brenton, 1830.

14. After the Armada the Corporation of Saltash raised the harbour due to seven shillings for a Spanish ship. This sum is still paid by Trinity House, which, however, exacts two shillings only from the Spaniards, the same as from a French or German vessel.

15. I have given them in my Garland of Country Song. Methuen, 1895.

16. There are two rivers Lew in West Devon and two in Wales. There is a Loue that flows into the VÉzÈre. There is also Loe Pool by Helston; the root enters into lough or loch.

17. A new edition was published by Longmans in 1845.

18. Madoc and Madan are the same name; oc and an are diminutives. The real name was Aed. It became Mo-aedoc. Mo is a term of endearment--"my"--given to many Irish and Welsh saints.

19. I must caution the visitor against the blunders that crowd the pages of a little local guide to Golant. Amongst other misstatements is this, that the capitals are Norman and the arches of Moorish design. The four-centred arch is quite common in all third-pointed work.

20. Reprinted in Preb. Hingeston-Randolph's Registers of Bishop Grandisson. Exeter, 1897, p. 608.

21. The arch over door and window is decisive against sixth-century work. All the earliest Irish churches have a stone slab thrown across from the jambs, and no arch with key.

22. The church without, as outside of the camp.
