		John of Tynemouth compiled a national and comprehensive list of saints in the fourteenth century, and his work was used by later hagiographers.
		If the obscure Uny was a saint, he must have come from Ireland, the argument would run - or Wales, for those countries were, as Nicholas Orme has said, believed to be where many saints came from (Orme 1992, 29).
		We have to consider people's purposes in having models of religious heroism; the belief that saints could intercede to counter miraculously the natural course of events for living human beings; and the role of explanatory stories and allegory in religion.

	Saints Way Walking Routes @ Chycor Cornwall UK
		The Saints' Way is an attractive middle-distance walking route of just under 30 miles which crosses Cornwall from Padstow in the north to Fowey in the south.
		It joins a number of religious sites which have connections with the Cornish Saints and Holy Men and parts of the route are of very ancient origin.
		The Saints' Way, in historical context, should therefore be regarded as a route which may. in parts, have been used by the Saints, but which certainly offers the opportunity to appreciate the religious significance of the area.

		Cornish players are regular participants in inter-Celtic festivals, and Cornwall itself has several lively inter-Celtic festivals such as Perranporth's Lowender Peran folk festival[5].

		He argues that the bulk of local Cornish saints are Brittonic, meaning they arrived in Cornwall from either Wales, Brittany or else they were native to the county.
		After the twelfth century, however, Cornish saints rebounded in popularity and continued to be locally important up through and beyond the Reformation.
