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.
