Life
Saint Mawnan (Maunanus) is a saint of Cornwall, of the sixth or seventh century, from whom the parish of Mawnan in south Cornwall, on the Helford River, takes its name. It is suggested that the place-name comes from a sixth-century Saint Maunanus, probably a Breton monk, who landed there about AD 520. The thirteenth-century parish church at Mawnan Church is dedicated to Saints Mawnan and Stephen.
No other details of his life have been kept. He is a saint of the undivided Church, honoured locally, without synodal canonization.
