I have to acknowledge with gratitude much information given me most ungrudgingly, from his great store of antiquarian learning, by the Reverend T. Taylor, Vicar of St. Just; likewise my thanks are due to Mr. H. Jenner for kindly help and information upon the etymology of local place names. I must also acknowledge the free use I have made of facts bearing upon the history of Breage and Germoe taken from Mr. Baring-Gould's "Historic Characters and Events in Cornwall," and at the same time I have to express my thanks to the Reverend H. J. Warner, Vicar of Yealmpton, the Reverend H. G. Burden, Vicar of Leominster, and Mr. A. E. Spender for valuable information and assistance. I have been greatly helped in my examination of the Parish Registers by the excellent transcription of large parts of them made by Mrs. Jocelyn Barnes. Finally I have to thank a great number of kind friends at Breage, who have imparted to me the fast fading traditions of other times, to whom I venture to dedicate this brief record of days that are no more. _Breage, All Saints' Day, 1912._ Date of | Insti- | LIST OF THE VICARS OF BREAGE. tution. | |--------------------------------+------------------------------------- -- |WILLIAM, SON OF RICHARD |Died or resigned during the Interdict 1219 |WILLIAM, SON OF HUMPHREY | 1264 |MASTER ROBERT DE LA MORE |Resigned to become Canon of Glasney, | | ultimately parson of Yeovil. 1264 |MASTER STEPHENUS DE ARBOR | -- |SIR PASCASIUS |No date of Institution.
