St. Petroc, who was born circa A.D. 490 in Wales. He became a monk and among his disciples was St. Coemgen (the patron saint of Dublin). Travelling to Cornwall, he set up his abbey at Padstow (which means Petroc's place) where he was Abbot for over thirty years. He then left, setting up a hermitage near Rough Tor on Bodmin Moor. The Devon Flag has been dedicated to St Petroc, who was a Celtic Saint who frequented Devon & Cornwall. | ||
