_The Tanthony_ (Vol. III., pp. 105. 229.).--I am obliged to A. for the
trouble he has taken in reference to my Query; but perhaps I may be correct
in my suggestion, for on looking into the second volume of the
_Archæological Journal_ the other day, I accidentally found an account of
the discovery of a figure of St. Anthony at Merthyr, near Truro, in which
it is mentioned that
"Under the left arm appears to have passed a staff, and the pig, with
_a large bell_ attached to its neck, appears in front of the
figure."--P. 202.
I shall be much obliged to anybody who will settle the point
satisfactorily. The fair held on old St. Andrew's Day is always called in
Kimbolton and the neighbourhood "Tandrew" fair, so why not "Tanthony" for
"Saint Anthony?"
