| Named after an unknown saint, this parish is situated north-west of Penzance with pleasant views across Mounts Bay and St Michaels Mount. It possesses the mother church of Penzance and the famous holy well of St Madron, where it is claimed many miraculous cures took place. North of Madron is the prehistoric holed stone known as Men-an-Tol, also believed to have had the power of healing. Naked children suffering from rickets were passed through the hole three times in the hope of restoring their health. | |
