In this county were two priories of this name, which are often
confounded by some of our writers.
1. BENEDICTINE CELL. One was a cell of Black monks of Angiers,
belonging to Trewardreth priory[84], and being mentioned in Gervase of
Canterbury’s catalogue must be as early as K. Richard I.st’s time. The
rectory here, as parcel of the possessions of Tywardreith, was
granted, _6 Eliz._ to William and John Killigrew.
2. AUSTIN CELL. The other, St. Anthony’s near St. Mawes, was a small
priory of two Austin canons subordinate to Plimpton[85], and as parcel
of the same was granted, _38 Hen. 8._ to Thomas Goodwin.
