Ma lowarth pur rond e'n cres Crantock. Ew hebma plen an gwary? Nag ew. Re vian ew – nag eus spas lowr etto rag performansys dramatek – rag na gwariers nan miroryon. Garth po clôs ew – ûsyes en termyn eus passyes rag bestes gellys dhe stray dhort an tir kevradnek en ogas. Res veu dhe'n berhednyon rei pemet dh'aga lôwsel. Treveglos pur dhe les ew Crantock. Ma eglos sacrys dhe Garantoc (devedhys war alter neyjys). Eglos collej a-bris o an eglos (pecar'a Glasney). Ma fenten sans dhodho ewedh. Thera dhe'n dreveglos ma benyn Duw (Ambrusca Sans an Werhes) ha ma fenten sans dhedhy reb an vorr dhe'n treth.

There is a perfectly round garden in the centre of Crantock. Is this a playing place? No, it's not. It's too small – there's not enough room in it for a dramatic performances – for neither players nor watchers. It's an enclosure (a pound) – used in the past for animals that had strayed from the nearby common ground. The owners had to pay a fine to release them. Crantock is a very interesting churchtown. There is a church dedicated to St Carantoc (who arrived on a floating altar). The church was an important collegiate church (like Glasney). He also has a holy well. This churchtown had a woman of God (St Ambrusca the Virgin) and she has a holy well beside the road to the beach.
