Saint Brannock of Braunton
Saint Brannock lived in the sixth century, and tutored the children of the Welsh ruler Brychan. He went with King Brychan on a pilgrimage to venerate the tombs of the Apostles. On the way home, he stopped in Brittany and remained there several years.
Eventually, the saint settled in Braunton, where he built a church. His holy relics are said to rest beneath the altar of the Braunton church.
