St Piran
Said to have arrived in Cornwall floating on a millstone. Apparently his original community were jealous of his powers of healing and carrying out miracles. They had tied a millstone round his neck and thrown him off a cliff - luckily there was divine intervention and the millstone was transformed into something that floated, so thus he arrived in Cornwall. he landed at Perran Beach, to which he gave his name.He became the patron saint of tinners, perhaps because he was said to have a taste for the bottle.He built a chapel in Penhale sands, and lead a full life, dying at the age of 206. The chapel was unearth from the sands in the 19th century, and the skeleton of very tall man discovered 9perhaps the saints). the chapel was reburied to protect it from vandals http://www.cornwall-calling.co.uk/fa...e/st-piran.htm
