NOTE:

Pen later 1'edn = a head, or end. Men = 'Rock', Carek = 'Rock', Forth

or For = 'Port', Pol = 'Pool', but is usually a corruption of Forth

and sometimes of Pen.

a)M.S penese C.H. The owner was the Rt Hon.Sidney Godolphin. Arrowan

afterwards belonged to John Oliver of Falmouth, whose daughter and

heiress married John Willyams of Carnanton.

b) Bohednoe is probably the same as Methednoe which suggests the

plural of Methen or Medhen, possibly meaning 'luner part' R.M.N.

c) R,N,B, suggests Cost yn Cog, 'Cost in Vain', c.f .Cost lost,Labour

in Vain and other such field names.

d) The word Morrop. i.e. 'By the Sea' is applied to the cliff lands

all along the coast from the Lizard to Penzance but does not occur

once in the St.Keverne field names. Grugath is far inland. R.M.N

adds:Morreps is used by extension of any rich, as opposed to hungry,

ground at St.Ives and Morvah, where the best land is by the shore.

This is not impossible even at Grugath.

e) I am indebted to Mr.R.M.Nance for this interesting and undoubted

interpretation.

f) MS in Exeter Cathedral Library.

g) Professor Loth in his Romans de la Table Ronde suggests The Ford

of Iseult.

h) R.M.N. writes: The earliest form, Demmyn, suggests An Dommen

(tommen) 'a bank' or 'earthwork' later tubment tubben. It is not very

unusual to find the intrusive d before n and b before m confused.

'Dudman (or tomrnen occurs at Leiant') of Dudman in Kenwyn and the

Dodman Headland. Dydemin was the old name of St.Martin in Meneage.

i) See an article on King Teudar, by H.Jenner, FSA, in Tre.Pol and

Pen 1928.

j) Most Cornish parishes had playing fields in the 17th C and

earlier. Some of these were amphitheatres for the performance of

Miracle Plays e.g. Perran Round. The common field name Park an Butts

indicates where the parishioners practised Archery according to the

Statute for the Defence of the Realm.

k) Archives of D and C No.3672 fo.64 and No.1437. PRO Anc.Deeds

A.13280.


1) This word occurs in Reskymer Rentals of 1318 and 1506, but I have

not found it elsewhere. Marghogyon is the plural of Marghak 'Knight',

so that the word possibly refers to some kind of Knightly Service of

Scutage, Ago may be for agoth cf Welsh 'agwedd',Breton 'aon'

'form','condition' R.M.N.

m) Charter in the Cartulary of the Mount at Hatfield,printed in

Oliver's Monasticon, p. 32.

n) MS at Trewarthenick.

o) Maen mellin is a rock on the parish boundary near Croft Pascoe

Pool where six estates used to meet. Counver Tudor must be the

present main road near Kenhewas.

p) See Canon Taylors,Celtic Christianity of Cornwall, p.160 for

remarks on these transactions. He thinks that the monks of the Mount

held these lands in Celtic times but this seems improbable.

q)Manellek ' abounding in sheaves' R.M.N.

r) Or Dor-mulyon 'clover ground' as at Tremeader in Zennor R.M.N.

s) Probably Men voys,'table rock' R.M.N.

t) Consistory Court Proceedings,Exeter Cathedral M.S.S.

u) MS notebook in Truro Museum.

v) For Park Erow Bons,'Bridge Acre' R.M.N.

w) 'Great Leaf Lacca.

x) Pedes Finium,Cornwal 118.

y) Rentals and Surveys 6-38

x) M.S. penes C.H.

aa)? For'gabm for Forth gam, 'Crooked way'

bb) Perhaps Forth hyney,'way of roads'. There was a Gweal Fringey at

Probus

to cross roads.

near the town' i.e. the farm place.
