Life
Venerable Mancus (Manaccus, Monach) is honoured in Cornwall, England, where the church at Lanreath bears his name. According to William of Worcester he was a bishop, and his body rests at Lanreath; he was probably Irish. The church at Lanlivery is dedicated to him together with Saint Dunstan. The feast at Lanreath was formerly kept after Whitsun and is now kept on 3 August.
The Orthodox England calendar commemorates him on 31 May (new style), with Saints Winnow and Myrbad, three saints who came from Ireland to Cornwall, by all appearances in the sixth century.
