Thanks for the feedback. I'm not hung up on 1006 as a date, by the way, merely that that was a time around which lots of documentation of various kinds was produced.   What I'm looking for is evidence of the Obby Oss existing in Padstow at various dates, by which I mean documents produced at that time (I believe the jargon is primary historical sources.) I understand that St Petroc founded a monastery in the 6th century. I would be surprised if there was a pagan celebration happening every year on his front doorstep without some reference to it in the monastery records for example, so there should be something quite specific about it in the record.
