There are other monuments:――to Walter Langdon, of Keveril, stated to
be the last of his race; to Philip Maiowe, probably ancestor of John
Mayo, or Mayow, M.D. Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, and
afterwards Physician at Bath[3]; also to the Rev. Stephen Midhope,
sometime Rector of this parish, who died in the year 1636; but this
gentleman, hurried away by the whirl of fanatical opinions, growing
out of the Reformation, had resigned his living some years before, on
professing himself an Anabaptist.
This parish measures 2,719 statute acres.

ST. MARTIN’S IN MENEAGE.
HALS.
St. Martin’s Rectory is situate in the hundred of Kerryer, hath upon
the north and east Helford Channel and Constenton, south Manaccan and
St. Kevorn, west Mawgan: under what jurisdiction this parish was taxed
in the Domesday Book in 1087 I know not. In the Inquisition of the
Bishops of Lincoln and Winchester, into the value of Cornish Benefices
in Cornwall, 1294, Ecclesia de Sancti Martini in decanatude Kerryer,
was valued at £4. 6_s._ 8_d._ At or before the time of Wolsey’s
Inquisition, 1521, it was consolidated into its superior or mother
church St. Mawgan, and therefore not mentioned by itself. I take it to
have been founded and endowed by the Prior of St. Michael’s Mount, who
formerly was patron of both, now Trevillian; the incumbent Trewinard;
and the parish rated to the 4_s._ per pound Land Tax, 1696, £105.
