FOOTNOTES:
[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.

Towednack, and Zennor_ (London, 1892), p. 40.

of Cornwall,” _Journal of the Royal Institution of
Cornwall_, vol. x. (1890-1).
[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.
