A Sculpture of The Patron Saint of Cornwall.
Bringing Cornwall’s most famous Saint
back
to the place where the story began.
Sculptor Peter
Walker is currently in the process of bringing the Patron
Saint of Cornwall St. Piran to the site where, legend tells
us he miraculously came ashore after being tied to a
millstone. A life sized bronze statue of the saint will be
located in the parish of Perranzabuloe and will become a
major focal point for the heritage of the area. This will be
a welcome sight to all those interested in seeing the
preservation and celebration of all that which is Cornish.
In order to fund the statue, Mr. Walker has
created a small scale version of the final sculpture which
is to be sold in order to finance the costs of the bronze
casting and installation of the artwork.
“We hope that this project will allow all
those interested in the History and Heritage of Cornwall to
share in bringing one of its most significant historical
figures back to the county. A Public Sculptural
representation of St. Piran will be a wonderful feature for
the town, and all of the thousands of people who are
interested in the furthering of Cornish Culture.”
A limited edition of 80 copies of the smaller
scale St. Piran sculpture, are available to those interested
in the project and those who would like to participate in
bringing St. Piran permanently back to Cornwall. Interest
from not only within Cornwall but also nationally and from
interested parties abroad is envisaged. Profits from the
sale of this sculpture, which will in itself become a
collectors item and unique representation of the Cornish
Patron saint, will then finance the life sized St. Piran
Monument.
