About the flag

The Cornwall Flag is a community flag proclaiming the unique identity of this historic English county.

The flag is a plain white cross on a black field, the Cross of Saint Piran.

St Piran (died c. 480) is the patron saint of tin-miners and the colours may represent white tin flowing from black ore.
