St Piran's
Churches
Now lying buried under the wind blown sands of Perran Bay, St
Piran’s Oratory is considered as one of the most important early
Christian sites in Britain. It was allegedly built in about the
eighth century by St Piran.
The later church of St Piran on Perran Sands was built in about 1150
as the nearby oratory became progressively inundated. It was
enlarged in the fifteenth century and abandoned in 1804, itself
succumbing to the encroaching sands. |

A church is a place set aside for the public worship of the
Christian god. Cornish Churches were often constructed on sites that
had been in continuous use since the original establishment of
Christianity in the 5th or 6th centuries.
Most churches were extensively repaired or rebuilt in the 15th
century, and again during the Victorian period, though many retain
traces of earlier architecture. |
