St Breaca

An Irishwomen who was one of Brigid's nuns, the lost life of this saint was once housed at Breage Church.

She came to Cornwall with a group of saints which included Elwyn and Germoe - Elwyn is remembered at Portleven at the mouth of the Hayle River. That place derives its name from Port Elwyn, so indicating where the saint made his landing.
