The Flag of Cornwall, also known as the Flag of St Piran, is the traditional flag of Cornwall and one of the most recognisable regional flags in the United Kingdom. Featuring a striking white cross on a black background, it represents Cornish heritage, culture and identity. Proudly flown during St Piran’s Day, local festivals, sporting events and throughout Cornwall, it is a powerful symbol of the county’s unique history and enduring spirit.
The Flag of St Piran is named after Saint Piran, the patron saint of Cornwall, who is traditionally credited with discovering tin smelting in the region. The design is believed to date back to at least the 15th century, although it may have even earlier origins. Over the centuries, it has become the recognised emblem of Cornwall and is widely used to celebrate Cornish history, language and cultural traditions.
The colours of the Cornwall Flag each have their own meaning:
- Black Background – Represents the rich black ore found in Cornwall’s historic tin mines.
- White Cross – Symbolises the tin metal extracted from the ore, as well as honesty, hope and peace.
Together, these colours celebrate Cornwall’s mining heritage, cultural identity and proud traditions.
Each pin is carefully handmade and finished with a crystal-clear resin dome, creating a smooth, durable surface that protects the design while making the colours stand out beautifully. On the reverse, the pin is fitted with a durable rubber backing, helping to keep it securely in place while remaining comfortable to wear throughout the day.
