About Saint Piran
Piran is venerated as an early medieval Celtic abbot and patron of Cornwall, especially of tin miners. Reliable facts are scarce and later legends describe an Irish origin, a miraculous sea journey on a millstone, and the discovery of tin. His name endures at Perranzabuloe and in Cornwall’s strong Christian memory.
