St Piran originally built an oratory , the ruins of which are seen above, drawn in 1835

Parish to the south-east of Perranporth. Name means 'St Piran in the sands', to distinguish it from other parishes of St Piran. The saint originally built an oratory here which had the continual problem of being buried by the sands. Stones from the oratory were used to re-erect the church in 1804. The three mile long sandy beach at Perranporth is well known for the surfing competitions which are held there.
