(2006-05-17) | St.Kew (late 5th c) is a female saint, sister to Cyngar/Docco, she sailed from Gwent and landed in Wadebridge, where the village of Kew (formerly called Lan Docco) carries her name. In brotherly fashion he would not allow Kew anywhere near his hermit's cell until she proved that she could master a wild boar (pigs are part of the celtic underworld,). Which brings the Twrch Trwyth to mind, and shows how closely Wales and Cornwall were linked..
