ST. DOGMAEL’S ABBEY,

called, by Leland, {94} a “Priory of Bonhommes.” The Monasticon places

this house amongst the Benedictines; but it was that strict and reformed

sort of Benedictines, called the Order of Tiron, founded by Martin of

Tours, who conquered the country of Cemmeis, about the time of King

William the Conqueror. Part of the ruins is now converted into a chapel,

for the convenience of the vicinity. St. Dogmael’s is now a mere fishing

village.
