medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Perhaps Graham should have mentioned that the modern dedication of the church is to St Anietus - restoring what is presumed to be the original dedication, rather than Neot...

Modern usage has the possessive and apostrophe for the Cambridgeshire (until 1974 Huntingdonshire) parish, but not for the parish in Cornwall. This follows medieval usage: e.g. villa S. Neoti (1203), St Nyot's (1329) for 'St Neot's', and for 'St Neot' Sanctus Neotus (1201), Senniet ([ewarly 12th]14th c.), Seynt Nyet (1284), Sct Neot (1610). The Domesday entry for St Neot is misleading: '[Clerici] S' Neoti (1086). However, St Neot in Cornwall had an alternative name, Neotes- Nietestov (1086), Neotestoce ([11th]12th c), 'Neot's stow/stoc [holy place]'. > > By the way, Ellie, you've probably seen JM's article on the window in Jane Cartwright's edited volume, 'Celtic Hagiography and Saints' Cults'. There, for example, she mentions Robert Tubb, vicar of St Neot from 1508 t0 1544 as being among the family donors, but it's not clear to me (it would be to you, I'm sure) whether this refers to the Borlase window. > > Best wishes > > Graham > > > -----Original Message----- > From: medieval-religion - Scholarly discussions of medieval religious culture [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of John Briggs > Sent: 17 March 2010 01:01 > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: [M-R] St Neot(s), Cornwall > > medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture > > I don't see what is complicated: the village is called "St Neot", so if > you use an "s" you need an apostrophe :-) > > John Briggs > > > On 17/03/2010 00:30, Ellie Pridgeon wrote: > >> medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture >> >> Actually, having read around the subject, it's a bit more complicated. Some put in an apostrophe when describing the church dedication, and some don't. I happened to leave it out. This is exactly why I need to speak to the Cornish expert for my article...to get it spot on. >> >> Thanks :) >> >> Ellie >> >> >> Dr Ellie Pridgeon >> Architectural Archive >> Geffrye Museum >> Shoreditch >> London >> >> >> Church Monuments Society (Hon) Archivist >> >> >> >> >> ________________________________ >> From: John Briggs<[log in to unmask]> >> To: [log in to unmask] >> Sent: Tue, 16 March, 2010 22:26:43 >> Subject: Re: [M-R] St Neots, Cornwall >> >> medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture I am assured that it is "St Neot".

I am trying to find out which of the associated donor figures were still alive when the glass was inserted (c.1500 to c.1515). Perhaps someone could put me in touch with Jo Mattingly (I used to have her email, but have temporarily mislaid it).********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html >> >> >> >> >> ********************************************************************** >> To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME >> to: [log in to unmask] >> To send a message to the list, address it to: >> [log in to unmask] >> To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion >> to: [log in to unmask] >> In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: >> [log in to unmask] >> For further information, visit our web site: >> http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html >> >> > ********************************************************************** > To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME > to: [log in to unmask] > To send a message to the list, address it to: > [log in to unmask] > To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion > to: [log in to unmask] > In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: > [log in to unmask] > For further information, visit our web site: > http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html > > ********************************************************************** > To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME > to: [log in to unmask] > To send a message to the list, address it to: > [log in to unmask] > To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion > to: [log in to unmask] > In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: > [log in to unmask] > For further information, visit our web site: > http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html > > ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
