List of Cornish saints

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of Cornish saints, including saints more loosely associated with Cornwall: many of them will have links to sites elsewhere in regions with significant ancient British history, such as Wales, Brittany or Devon.

The Archangel Michael from Perugino's triptych in the Certosa of Pavia *The Archangel Michael was recognized as the patron saint of Cornwall in medieval times; his cult however was introduced to the land by the Normans. In the calendar of the Church of England diocese of Truro, 8 May is the feast of St. Michael, Protector of Cornwall. The archangel Michael is one of the three patron saints of Cornwall.[1]

List of some of the well-known Cornish saints

For more information see the works of Canon Doble (1880–1945),[2]Nicholas Orme's book, The Saints of Cornwall (2000),[3][4] and the works of Charles Henderson

N.B. All these have dedications in Cornwall but not all have legends or traditions associating them with Cornwall.
