As the result of the above examination it will be observed that of the twenty-six religious houses about one-half afford evidence of Celtic origin. In some cases the evidence is convincing; in some it is of itself insufficient to convince. Taken as a whole, it adds considerably to the weight of the argument which is here advanced, namely, that in Cornwall the Celtic form of Christianity had not wholly disappeared at the time of the Norman Conquest. Of its secure and comprehensive hold upon the religious life of the whole county at an earlier period there is abundant proof in the names of the parishes. Excluding those which have been considered, fifteen bear the prefix _Lan_, the mark of monastic settlement. Others, like St. Erth (Lanudno), St. Madron (Landithy), St. Just-in-Penwith (Lafrowda), Kea (Landegy), Gulval (Lanisley), Lelant (Lananta), Lezant (Lansant), retained the prefix for a time, in an _alias_, which in some cases suggests an earlier dedication; or, as in the case of Lanherne, Langunnet, Lanyhorne and Lanhadron still retain it in the name of the manor to which the advowson of the church was appendant; while a very large number bear, without prefix or affix, the names of Celtic saints, many of them unknown to the outside world. From one end of the county to the other the impress of Celtic Christianity can be clearly traced. It is monastic in character. But it is not a monasticism which has intruded within the confines of parishes already formed, but a monasticism which has occupied the whole territory from the very first. This it is which, in the tenth and eleventh centuries, either finds itself gradually superseded by the newer parochialism, or which ensures, in some sort, its survival in collegiate bodies or in recognised monastic orders by submitting to new conditions and new ideas. ----- Footnote 86: Inspeximi is a convenient plural of the word _inspeximus_ (we have inspected). Royal grants of liberties and privileges are frequently based upon earlier grants which the Royal grantor declares he has _inspected_. The charters of these earlier grants in many instances no longer exist. Footnote 87: _Jour. Arch. Assocn._, XXXIX, 282. Footnote 88: Pat. Roll, 18 Edw. III, 1345. Footnote 89: Another honour is mentioned in the same record, viz. that of St. Cheus, which awaits identification. The Exeter book reads correctly that Tremar uustel is _de honore S. Chei_, whereas the Exchequer version has belongs _ad honore S. Chei_. This led General James to translate the words “belongs to the honours of Chei”: _honore_ is probably an abbreviation for _honorem_ and the full stop after the _S_ a contraction of _Sancti_.
