Cubert ((コーンウォール語:Egloskubert))〔(Place-names in the Standard Written Form (SWF) ) : (List of place-names agreed by the MAGA Signage Panel ). Cornish Language Partnership.〕 is a village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is three miles south-southwest of Newquay〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 200 ''Newquay & Bodmin'' ISBN 978-0-319-22938-5〕 and is in the civil parish of Cubert ((コーンウォール語:Lannowyn)).〔 Once known as St Cubert, the village is dominated by the spire of its 14th-century church which was enlarged by the addition of a south aisle a century later. The village is named after the Welsh missionary St Cubert who, as a companion of St Carantoc, brought the Christian faith to this part of Cornwall, and to whom the church is dedicated. Unlike his companion St Carantoc—who travelled on to Brittany—St Cubert returned to Wales becoming abbot of his monastery and, according to the Welsh chronicles, dying in 775. The feast of St Cubert is celebrated on the Sunday following 4 October.〔''Cornish Church Guide'' (1925) Truro: Blackford; p. 14〕 Gilbert H. Doble included translations of the "Vita Carantoci" and extracts from the "Léon Breviary" in his account of St Carantoc. After reviewing all the evidence he could find he concluded that Carantoc had been the leader of a band of Welsh missionaries who came to the Crantock district to evangelize it; Cubert was among his followers, and after their work in Cornwall was done they went on to Brittany where a district around Léon has place-names and dedications related to these missionary saints.〔Doble, G. H. (1965) ''The Saints of Cornwall; Part four: Saints of the Newquay, Pastow and Bodmin district''. Truro: Dean and Chapter; pp. 31-52〕 The hamlets of Tresean, Treveal, Trevemper, Treworgans and Ellenglaze are in the parish.〔(Cornwall ); Explore Britain〕 ==History and antiquities== The village has been without its prefix 'St' since the 16th/17th century when it was abandoned at the same time as the churchwardens whitewashed over the figure of St Cubert dressed as an abbot on the inside wall of the church. On early maps it often appears as St Kibberd—possibly indicating what the visiting cartographer heard when a local inhabitant was asked the name of the village. To the west of the village, half way between the village and the coast, is the medieval Holy Well dedicated to St Cubert, from which the coastal bay takes its name. At the north end of the beach, only accessible two hours before and after low-tide, is a natural well in the rock that 19th century romanticists like to think was the origin of the name Holywell. A mile to the east of the village near the Newquay crossroads, where the four parishes of St Cubert, Crantock, St Newlyn East and Perranzabuloe meet, was the chapel of St Nectan (the foundations of which were uncovered when the road was widened and straightened in 1970), where on certain feasts during the year the relics of the Patron Saints of the four parishes were carried in procession for their veneration by the faithful. An inscribed stone, dated from the sixth to eighth centuries, was found imbedded in the walls of the fifteenth-century church. It bears the name of "Cenet()cus, son of Tege()nomalus".〔See the discussion and bibliography in Elisabeth Okasha, ''Corpus of Early Christian Inscribed Stones of South-west Britain'' (Leicester: University Press, 1993), pp. 97-99.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cubert」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
