Akeveranus
cornish saint
Who they were
Saint Achevran or Achovran (fl. before 10th c.), often called Akeveranus and in modern times Keverne or Kerrian, was a Cornish saint, noted since at least 1086 and probably before the 10th century. Little is known about Achevran's life or sanctification, but his name is found in multiple instances throughout the last millennium in Devon and Cornwall, most prominently the village of St Keverne on The Lizard and the St Kerrian Church in Exeter.
