  17. But who was St Piran? • According to legend St Piran was born in Ireland in the 6th century. He was renowned for his miraculous deeds but a group of kings grew afraid of his powers. They put a millstone round his neck and threw him from a cliff into the sea. As he fell thunder and lightening raged around him but, as he reached the sea level, the tempest calmed and he floated on the stone towards the Cornish shore.

  18. After days at sea he landed on the beach that bears his name Perranporth...the cove or harbour of St Piran...on the north coast. He built a chapel in the sand dunes and the Cornish people flocked to see him as news of his teachings spread further afield. (Nowadays people come from all over the world to trace the history of this oratory and the so called "lost church".

  19. The story unfolds One day he noticed a stream of silver white metal flowing from the black stone of his hearth. He went on to teach the local people how to extract the mineral - tin - from the rock. The resulting celebrations lasted many days and gave rise to the expression "drunk as a Perraner". Over the years the reputation of "Saint" Piran grew and now his image and flag are recognised all over the world.

  20. St Piran and his coracle Each year, St Piran's story is retold in a drama on the dunes near Perranporth's "lost" church on the Sunday nearest to March 5. These community projects - based in the parish of Perranzabuloe - have become increasingly popular over the years with the performaces attracting "one and all" from all over the world.
