Barry Island is no longer an island, but has never been part of England.
It's firmly attached to Wales. St Barruc, who sounds like a local man,
would probably not have appreciated the confusion either.
Fellow Celts may demand that the offending page be torn out, but it seems
to me this is one occasion when writing in one's books may be forgiven.
Maybe Dr Jestice would be willing to correct the errant work of reference.
Best wishes from the Celtic fringes,
Pat
