St Petroc was a famous Orthodox Abbot, born c.490 in Wales, who became a monk and counted amongst his disciples Saint Coemgen (the patron saint of Dublin). He travelled to Cornwall and set up his abbey at Padstow (derived from his name, 'stow' means 'holy place') where he remained as Abbot for thirty years.He eventually left and set up a hermitage near Rough Tor on Bodmin Moor. Saint Petroc reposed in the Lord in 564AD. Associated with him in the monastic life were Saint Croidan, Saint Dagan and Saint Medan.</div>
