List of Cornish saints
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.
List of some of the well-known Cornish saints
For more information see the works of Canon Doble (1880–1945), Nicholas Orme's book, The Saints of Cornwall (2000), 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.
Honorary canons of Truro
The 24 honorary canons of Truro Cathedral occupy stalls named after 24 saints (almost all of them Cornish): Carantoc; Buriana; Germoe; Conan; Winwalloe; Nectan; Petroc; Adwenna; Piran; Constantine; Cybi; Paul; Breaca; Neot; Rumon; Sampson; German; Meriadoc; Euni; Ia; Endelienta; Columb; Corentin; Aldhelm.
Modern Cornish saints
More recent Cornishmen recognized for sanctity include the Irish-Cornish martyr Blessed John Cornelius.
