Many towns and villages are named for Celtic saints who spread Christianity throughout Cornwall approximately 1500 years ago. These saints are often unknown outside of Cornwall, and these place names are often unique to the Duchy. Many of the names have been modernized since they were attached to the localities, but retain the Celtic character of their origins. | Many towns and villages are named for Celtic saints who spread Christianity throughout Cornwall approximately 1500 years ago.
