Named after the patron saint of this parish, who it is said established the first church at Mylor near the water. Parish is north of Falmouth on the west coast of the natural haven of Carrick Roads. Once contained a small Royal Navy Dockyard, but now popular with yachtsmen. The picturesque Restronguet Creek with its Pandora Inn is north-east of Mylor Bridge. The Inn was once owned by Captain Edwards who brought the Bounty mutineers to Justice.
