Life

The history of St Brannoc is confused – some sources conflate him with Saint Brynach, however Exeter Cathedral celebrates the feast of Brynach on 7 April and that of Brannoc on 7 January so it is unlikely that they are the same saint.[1][2] In contrast, Braunton celebrates St Brannock's Day on the 26 June.[citation needed]
