Celtic and Old English Saints          4 November

* St. Clether of Cornwall
* St. Brinstan of Winchester

St. Clether (Clederus) of Cornwall, Hermit

St Clether is a small village beside the River Inney with the parish
church standing some distance away. A little way on from the church
following the river stands what is considered Cornwall's most
beautifully situated Holy Well. There are over two hundred Holy Wells in
Cornwall (indeed there is one on the next village - Laneast), however
few can compere with the beauty and tranquillity of the well & chapel at
St Clether (pictured on the web page

Tucked away in complete isolation and only reachable by a footpath
across a moorland meadow, thesmall chapel stands between the river and
an outcrop of limestone rocks. The spring bubbles up behind the chapel
and then the water flows under the altar and leaves the building to join
the river below. Possibly originally built in the 5th Century by a Welsh
saint named St Clederus the well was rebuilt in the 15th Century and
restored in 1895.
