gwdyn, the white house. D. Gilbert, under Perranzabuloe, says, "That as the miners impute the discovery of tin to St. Perran, so they ascribe its reduction from the ore, in a large way, to an imaginary personage, Saint Chiwidden; but chi-wadden is the white house, and must therefore mean a smelting or blowing house, where the black ore of tin is converted into a white metal." There is a place called Kegwyn St. Just in Constantine.
