About This Book

A series of historical sketches and studies surveys the development and character of Christianity in Cornwall by combining archaeological, liturgical, and documentary evidence to assess origins, chronology, and local practices. The essays critique simplistic comparative methods that assume a single source for similar religious phenomena and emphasize careful attention to dates, places, and material remains. Topics include surviving rites, church architecture, the regional veneration of local holy figures, and folk traditions, while appendices gather supporting documents and corrections to clarify the textual and evidential record.

APPENDIX B
 
Edward the Confessor’s Charter
(Oliver’s Monasticon, p. 31)

Carta Edwardi regis Anglorum pro abbatiâ sancti Michaelis (Ex autographo apud S. Michaelem in Normannia).

In nomine sanctae et individuae Trinitatis, ego Edwardus Dei gratia Anglorum rex, dare volens pretium redemptionis animae meae, vel parentum meorum, sub consensu et testimonio bonorum virorum, tradidi sancto Michaeli archangelo in usum fratrum Deo servientium in eodem loco sanctum Michaelem qui est juxta mare, cum omnibus appendenciis, villis scilicet, castellis, agris et caeteris attinentibus. Addidi etiam totam terram de Vennefire,[131] cum oppidis, villis, agris, pratis, terris cultis et incultis, et cum horum redditibus. Adjunxi quoque datis portum addere qui vocatur Ruminella cum omnibus quae ad eum pertinent, hoc est molendinis et piscatoriis et cum omni territorio illius culto et inculto, et eorum redditibus.

Si quis autem his donis conatus fuerit ponere calumpniam anathema factus, iram Dei incurrat perpetuam. Utque nostrae donationis auctoritas verius firmiusque teneatur in posterum, manu meâ firmando subterscripsi, quod et plures fecere testium.
