- The Lost Church Found Author:
C. Trelawny Collins
Copyright: 1839
Description: 294
pages. This is the story of the church built near the site of St. Piran's
oratory his original church in Cornwall. This replacement church was built
in the 10th century and in use until the early 1800s when encroaching
sands forced it to be abandoned. St. Piran is the patron saint of tinners
(tin miners), but in Cornwall he is now commonly thought of as
representing Cornwall and it is his flag, a white cross on a black
background that is associated as being the Cornish flag. This book was
written contemporary with the events of the church being abandoned. A
relatively scarce work and an important part of not only Cornwall's
history but that of Christianity in Britain. Here is an interesting link. Detail ->
