Perranzabuloe ((コーンウォール語:Pyran yn Treth)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Cornish Place Names )〕) is a coastal civil parish and a hamlet in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Perranzabuloe parish is bordered to the west by the Atlantic coast and St Agnes parish, to the north by Cubert parish, to the east by St Newlyn East and St Allen parishes and to the south by Kenwyn parish.〔(Cornwall Council online mapping ) Retrieved June 2010〕 The hamlet (containing the parish church) is situated just over a mile (2 km) south of the principal settlement of the parish, Perranporth; the hamlet is also seven miles (11 km) south-southwest of Newquay.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 204 ''Truro & Falmouth'' ISBN 978-0-319-23149-4〕〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 200 ''Newquay & Bodmin'' ISBN 978-0-319-22938-5〕 Other settlements in the parish include Perrancoombe, Goonhavern, Mount and Callestick.〔Ordnance Survey: Explorer Map 104 ''Redruth & St Agnes'' ISBN 978-0-319-23705-2〕 The parish population was 5,382 in the 2001 census,〔(GENUKI website ); Perranzabuloe; retrieved May 2010〕 increasing to 5,737 at the 2011 census. The name of the parish derives from the medieval Latin ''Perranus in Sabulo'' meaning Piran in the sand. It refers to Saint Piran (the patron saint of Cornwall) who founded an oratory church in the seventh century near the coast north of Perranporth. In medieval times the parish of Perranzabuloe was a peculiar of Exeter Cathedral. Perranzabuloe at that time exercised ecclesiastic control of St Agnes: the latter's church was a chapelry of Perranzabuloe. In 1846 St Agnes became a separate ecclesiastical parish.〔 ==St Piran's Oratory and Old Church== The site of the oratory of St Piran is in the extensive sand dunes known as Penhale Sands.〔(St Piran's Oratory' ); Morley B Collins; 1910〕〔http://www.stpiran.org/〕 Legend has it that St Piran landed on Perran beach from his native Ireland and built the oratory in the Irish style. The first oratory was probably built of wattle and daub and replaced in stone at a later date. The oratory was very simple in plan and was barely long. Local community groups have established a fund for re-excavation of the site which began in early 2014.〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-26449935〕 Three carved stone 'Celtic' heads, of a man, woman, and cat are in the care of the Royal Cornwall Museum.〔http://hypatia-trust.org.uk/2013/01/25/could-this-be-cornwalls-earliest-image-of-a-woman/〕 The encroachment of the sand led to the oratory being abandoned in the 10th century. The noted 17th-century antiquary Richard Carew wrote: ''St Piran too well brooketh his name in Sabuloe: for the sand carried up by the north wind from the seashore daily continueth covering and marring the land adjoinant, so as the distress of this deluge drove the inhabitants to remove their church. Howbeit when it meeteth with any crossing brook, the same (by a secret apathy) restraineth and barreth his farther encroaching that way. It was in consequence of this notion that the inhabitants, thinking such situation secure, removed their church only about 300 yards, it being on the opposite side of the brook.''〔(St Piran website ); Oratory. Retrieved June 2010〕 When the oratory was abandoned, another church (now known as St Piran's Old Church, ) was built nearby on the inland side of the stream. As mentioned by Carew (above) it was thought the stream would protect the church from encroachment by sand. This proved to be the case for several hundred years and the church, completed by the 12th century, was enlarged in 1462. However, mining for tin caused the stream to dry up and eventually the church was engulfed by the dunes. The last service was held in 1795 after which the old church was partially dismantled and the materials used to build a new church inland. However, the old church's graveyard was used for burials until 1835 before sand enveloped it.〔(Cornwall Calling website ); St Pirans Old Church. Retrieved June 2010〕 The oratory site was excavated in 1910 but the remains of the stone building are now buried in the sand again. The site of St Piran's Old Church and the 10th century cross next to it was excavated in 1919.〔Pevsner, N. (1970) Cornwall, 2nd ed. Penguin Books〕〔(Cornwall Calling website ); St Pirans Oratory. Retrieved June 2010〕 St Piran's Cross (believed to be the earliest recorded stone cross in Cornwall) stands in the dunes between the oratory site and the graveyard of the old church. It is dedicated to tinners and miners and stands high.〔(Megalithic.com website ); St Piran's Cross. Retrieved June 2010〕 In Saxon times there was also a monastery (known as Lanpiran or Lamberran) near the oratory site but it was disendowed c1085 by Robert of Mortain.〔 The relics of St Piran were preserved in St Prian Old Church which became a centre of pilgrimage. The relics are recorded in an inventory made in 1281 and were still venerated in the reign of Queen Mary I according to Nicholas Roscarrock's account. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Perranzabuloe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
