Life

Saint Vorch, a virgin, is according to Tonkin the patroness of the church of Lanlivery in Cornwall, whose name would be Lan-⁠le-⁠Vorch. Ecton gives Saint Brevita as patroness. The feast at Lanlivery falls on the first Sunday after the first Tuesday in May. No other facts are kept. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
