A Welshman of noble birth, Saint Petroc was educated in Ireland. He set out in a small boat with a few followers. In a type of ''peregrinatio'', they let God determine their course. The winds and tides brought them to the Padstow estuary.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.padstowparishchurch.org.uk/padstowchurch.htm |title=The Story of St. Petroc |website=St. Petroc's, Padstow |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130820051815/http://www.padstowparishchurch.org.uk/padstowchurch.htm |archive-date=20 August 2013 }}</ref> [[Kevin of Glendalough]] was a student of Petroc. [[Saint Endelienta]] was the daughter of the Welsh king [[Brychan]]. She also travelled to Cornwall – that is ancient [[Dumnonia]] – to evangelize the locals as did [[St Nonna]] mother of [[St David]] who travelled on to Brittany. Her brother [[Nectan of Hartland]] worked in Devon. Saint Piran is the patron saint of tin miners. An Irishman, [[Ciaran]], he is said to have 'floated' across to Cornwall after being thrown into the sea tied to a millstone. He has been identified on occasion with [[Ciarán of Saigir]].<ref name=schaff>{{cite encyclopedia |url=http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/encyc03/Page_117.html |title=Saint Ciaran of Saigir |encyclopedia=New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge |page=117 }}</ref>
