Ahhhh!  

Literally, "Saint Mary's Church in the hollow of the white hazal 
near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio of the red 
cave."

As stated in the town's official website.  It even has a sound file 
to hear the proper pronounciation.  It would take years to get that 
right!  My next door neighbor is Welch.  I should ask her to 
pronounce the name.

Now, since Pink Floyd did a song, "Several Species of Small Furry 
Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict," 
shouldn't we naturally have a single word for it?
