Saint Noyale (Latin: Noyala), also known as Noaluen, was a semi-legendary 5th-century Celtic saint and virgin martyr.[1] She is a popular saint in both Brittany and Cornwall, where she is memorialized at Newlyn East. According to legend, it is there that a fig tree growing from the south wall of the church grew from Noyale's staff. A holy well nearby was the site of her martyrdom.[2] She was one of the numerous Celtic settlers who travelled to Brittany during the Anglo-Saxon invasion of England.
