St Columb Major in Cornwall and had a strong interest in the use of theCornish language . Carew, who published his survey of Cornwall in 1602, notices the almost total extirpation of the Cornish language in his days. He says ; "The principal love and knowledge of this language liveth in Dr. Kennall, the civilian, and with him lieth buried;" [Richard Carew's "Survey of Cornwall"]The link between the Cornish language and Catholicism was also exhibited in the activities of Kennall, at St Columb where he was still holding Mass as late as 1590).
