it was indeed - but what I was driving at was that we interpret 'St' as
'Saint' and it ain't necessarily so if you go back to the latin. This was
the root of the problem with the 'St Sepulchre' discussion - which descended
into some further confusion because there are other tombs than the one in
Jerusalem. On a similar theme I would wonder how many St Dominic's wells
there are?
