I dug out my copy of Farmer Giles with the notes by Scull and Hammond to prepare for something else, and found a note on the feast of St. Hilarius and St. Felix:
Quote:
14 January, formerly the feast day of both St Hilarius of Poitiers and St Felix of Nola.

Perhaps not important, but a footnote that answers the question I raised earlier about those to me unknown saints.
