 CORNWALL cl-vans, the " dog's-valley " ; or this, obvious as it seems, may be a mistaken derivation. Ladock (2 m. W. of Grampound Road Station) is a name not easy to account for. There was certainly no St. Ladoc, so far as can be traced ; perhaps the name is corrupted from Lan-Cadoc. The place is notable for its lovely valley, and for its old stream-works, in which gold has been found. Lcnnonia Cove (about 6 m. S.W. of Pen- zance) is a very favourite spot with tourists, who are brought here frequently by the coaches during the summer. Its beauty is such as will survive a good deal of vulgarising. In the name we have clearly Lan-morna — could it have been Lan-Morwenna ? Lamorran (about 6 m. S.E. of Truro, on a creek of the Fal) is one of Cornwall's campanile churches. There are traces of an old priory ; also some beautiful gardens. Landcwednack, the parish of Lizard Point, is the most southerly parish in England. On three sides it is washed by the sea. We have in the name Landcwednack the same dedication as at Towednack near St. Ives ; " wednack " being merely a Cornish form of Winoc or Gwynog. Apparently for the sole reason that Gunwallo or Winwaloe went to Brittany and founded a monastery at Lande- venech, several authorities name this Winwaloe (the Breton Guennole) as the founder of Landewednack and Landevenech ; but the latter names manifestly embody the name of a Winoc, 146
