Notes: | 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. |
