The 3rd of May is the date given to our Patron Saint “Gluvias”. Saint Gluvias (b.unk d.unk) is known to have been the son of Gwynllyw Filwr (b. 450 d.529), King of Gwynllwg, a Welsh Kingdom bearing his name and a nephew of Saint Petroc the Wise.
It appears that Gluvias settled in the place now occupied by the church during the 6th century and converted many to Christianity before eventually returning to his homeland in what is now known as Wales where he later died possibly as a martyr, this possibly evidenced by the fact that in his will of 1438, Canon of Glasney College, James Michell (b.unk d.1438) left “1lb. of wax (for a candle) to the light of S. Gluvias, the Martyr.”
