St. Austell, Monk of Cornwall, Disciple of Saint Mevan (Austol, Hawystill) -------------------------------------------------------- 6th century; died at Saint-Meen, Brittany, France. The Cornish monk Austell was the godson and a disciple of Saint Meen (f.d. June 21). He probably lived near Saint Austell in Cornwall, which now preserves his name and adjoins the parish of Saint Mewan (Meen). When Meen followed Saint Samson (f.d. July 28) from Wales to Brittany, Austell accompanied him. Together they evangelized the Broceliande district and were buried in the same tomb. He may have left his name to Aust of Awst in Gloucester (Attwater2, Attwater2, Benedictines, Encyclopaedia, Farmer).
