 the date of Langarrow a thousand years or so. Some have imagined that
the destruction occurred at the time when Lyonesse was swallowed by the
waves, leaving only the Scillies to point to its former extent; and
there have been those who identified this catastrophe with the tempest
mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle under the date 1099. Others,
again, without daring to name a date, have thought that the storm which
destroyed Langarrow may have been the same as that which overwhelmed the
"Lost Hundred" of Cardigan Bay. But without denying these convulsions of
nature, we cannot venture to identify or time them. The name of
Langarrow, however, may safely be regarded as historic; and this, with
its variants of Languna or Langona, is the earliest name that we can
trace at Crantock. It proves the existence of a settlement here before
the time of St. Carantoc; it seems also to prove the earlier existence
of a church. The "garrow" might denote an untraceable St. Garrow or
Carrow. Langona has been differently interpreted as the "Meadow Church"
and the "Church on the Downs," either of which names would be
appropriate. But we reach something more definite when we come to St.
Carantoc himself, the Irish Cairnech or Crannach. He is a genuine
personality of British saint-lore, the only doubt being whether he was
an Irishman, a Welshman, or a Cornishman. All three countries have
claimed him. Most likely he was a Welshman, and as he lived at a time
when Wales and Cornwall were practically one land, Cornwall must not
feel defrauded if this decision is arrived at. The most notable point
about Cairnech is his connection with St. Patrick
