The abbey was founded by King Athelstan (925-939), for the soul of his
brother Edwin, possibly in 934.
He gave the abbey relics of St Sampson of Dol and St Branwallader, hence the
dedication of the abbey.
Branwallader was a Celtic or Welsh monk
of the 6th century, feast day (in Jersey) of January 19th. He is also known
as Branwalader, Branwalator, Brelade, Breward. It is likely that the name
“St. Brelade” is a corruption of “St. Branwallader”.
In Cornwall he has feast days on 9th February and 6th June; 19th January may
be the day of the translation of his relics. Branwallader was a Celtic or
Welsh monk, who is said to have been a Bishop in Jersey, although at the
time, Jersey would have been part of the ancient diocese of Dol. As with
many of the early saints of this part of the world, it is difficult to
separate fact from fiction.
However, it is believed that Branwallader worked with Saint Samson in
Cornwall and the Channel Islands, where he is remembered at Jersey in the
Parish name St Brelade and at Cornwall in the Parish name of St. Breward. He
may also have travelled with Samson to Brittany in northern France.

Good evening friends,
I've just spent a happy weekend singing in Milton Abbey, in the deeps of
Dorset.
I was researching the church earlier today and - embarrassingly, I forgot to
record my source - discovered that the full dedication of the church is: "
The Abbey Church of St Mary, St Samson and St Branwalader" (who??)
It does seem a little unusual - not to mention covering several bases ...
Jane
