St Monk

[sweet caroline]

Another saint connected with Strathclyde was St.
Monachus, in English St. Monk, but the time when he
flourished is not known. He was titular of the church of
Stevenston in Ayrshire, as we learn from the will of
Archibald Weir, dated I7th October 1547, in which the
testator leaves his body to be buried in the church of St.
Monk of Stevenston: "do corpus meum sepeliendum in
ecclesia sancti Monachi de Steynstoune."3 The saint is
still remembered in the parish by an annual fair on 3Oth
October, locally known as Sam-Maneuke s day.4
