	Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru - National Library of Wales : Beunans Meriasek
		St Meriasek was of Breton origin and the play presents his career from his early education in Brittany and his arrival in Cornwall, recounting the various miracles he performs, then moves on to his return to Brittany, where he becomes bishop of Vannes and eventually dies a Christian death.
		Incorporated into the narrative are a number of individual tales including incidents from the life of St Sylvester and a miracle brought about by the intervention of the Virgin Mary.
		Although little is known of the early history of the manuscript, the play was almost certainly associated with Camborne, the centre of the cult of St Meriasek.

		These would be quite appropriate to a St. Catherine play based on her vita, though of course other costumes and equipment, some of which was perhaps provided by the players themselves, would have been needed.
		Unlikely as St. Christina of Markyate (c.1097c.1161) might seem for such a production, the play may well have adapted episodes from the lives of other saints, perhaps even episodes in the standard repertory of the deviser who had come in to direct the play.
		These are St. George at Lydd, Kent; Thomas Becket at London in 117082; and St. George at York in 1554.

		He is the patron saint of the tinners, and is loved as much for his flaws - a tendency towards hard-drinking and flirting with the fairer sex - as for his spiritual qualities.

	The Collective Story of the English Cycles
		The miracles of the saints, indeed (except one or two of the Virgin and those of St. Paul and Mary Magdalene), and the histories of certain Old Testament heroes, such as Daniel and Tobit, are not included in any of the English cycles; but they are in the French.
		Plays of St. Paul and Mary Magdalene form part of the Digby cycle; and a miracle of the Blessed Sacrament is preserved in the well-known Croxton play, which was composed between 1461 and 1500.
		This latter day episode of the history of Christ's saints represents the desecration by Jews of a wonder-working wafer, their discomfiture and ultimate conversion, and is a striking example of the transition from the sacred and didactic drama to the realistic and comic play of contemporary life.

		This makes for easier access to the well water, for the Fountain of St John is still in use, and while I was there an old lady came to bathe her eyes, soaking her handkerchief and squeezing the water over her face.

	Piran Round
		In 1951 the Round was used for the Parish Celebrations of the Festival of Britain, a very Cornish celebration under the Chairmanship of Tom Tremewan, with Cornish songs and dances, and Cornish Wrestling with Geoff Menadue (from a good Rose family), the Cornish Middle-Weight Champion.
		The afternoon also featured a performance of “Bewnans Meriasek” (the life of a Cornish Saint), probably the first time such a performance had been given in the Round for over 300 years, and a finale by the Skinner’s Bottom Male Voice Choir.
		After this, as many of the older generation of Rosillians died and the younger ones moved away, the Chapel and the Sunday School used the Round less and less for their Anniversaries and it became disused and overgrown.

		With the advent of Methodism in Cornwall from Wesley's first visit in 1743, reaching St. Ives and St Just (in which areas the language still lingered) as well as far as Scilly, a new popular religious movement was engendered which soon became the predominant religious identity in Cornwall.
		Even here the majority of the population had probably ceased to use the language, and it is remarkable that knowledge of the language persisted in family tradition throughout the nineteenth century.
		Hobson Matthews, librarian of St. Ives reported John Davey, schoolmaster of St. Just and Boswednack, near Zennor, (1812-1891) as the last person with sufficient traditional knowledge of Cornish to be able to speak some, and recorded a short piece of original verse.

	Camborne Parish Church: Parish History
		In mediaeval times both saints were honoured in Camborne, but it was only in 1958, following a period of disuse of the dedication to St. Meriadoc, that the Church became officially known as the Church of St. Martin and St. Meriadoc.
		The life of St. Meriadoc, rediscovered in Wales in 1869, as the play "Beunans Meriasek", tells the story of the saint coming to Camborne and founding a church beside the chapel of St. Mary.
		Until the seventeenth century (1671) two churches stood within the churchyard walls, the main parish church as well as a chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, which was once an important shrine.

		The mining landscape of the area is conjured by a number of references to the closure of Botallack mine, and there are vivid descriptions by characters of fights on the quayside, and of the involvement of fishermen from Penzance and St Ives, giving the audience a geographical hook for their understanding of the play.
