The Irish Saint Levan (possibly a shortened form of<br /> Silvanus) migrated to Cornwall, where he gave his name to a parish<br /> (Benedictines).<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> The Baptistry and Chapel of St Levan.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> The Holy Well of St Levan and the Baptistery lie beside the footpath<br /> leading to Porth Chapel Beach. They are connected to the small Chapel on<br /> the cliff edge further down by a flight of about fifty stone steps. The<br /> existence of these steps had been known for many years, but they were<br /> uncovered as a result of excavations in 1931.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> The St Levan Stone.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> On the south side of the church near the porch is the rock known as St<br /> Levan's Stone. It is broken in two, and it was said that St Levan sat<br /> upon this rock when tired from fishing, Wishing to leave a memento of<br /> himself in connection with his rude but favourite seat, one day he gave<br /> it a blow with his staff and cracked it through. He prayed over the rock<br /> and uttered the following prophecy.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> When with panniers astride,<br /> &lt;br&gt;A Pack Horse can ride,<br /> &lt;br&gt;Through St Levan's Stone,<br /> &lt;br&gt;The world will be done.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> In pre-Christian times the stone was evidently venerated as a Holy Rock,<br /> since it has never been removed, nor has any attempt been made to<br /> destroy it.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> The Crosses<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> There were at one time at least six granite crosses of a Celtic pattern<br /> which marked the paths radiating the Church to outlying hamlets and<br /> farms. The finest specimen, which was 6' 11&quot; high, stands in the<br /> churchyard to the right of the path leading to the south porch. It may<br /> well be in its original position, as the churchyard is the site of an<br /> ancient enclosure. A second cross is to be found in the churchyard wall,<br /> beside the entrance stile at the north east corner.<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Saints|Levan]]</div> Jcognard
