Patron Saint - "Saint Briavel" (General)
Anyone want to put up another saint for Forest patron?
I considered Saint Piran, patron saint of miners , however Cornwall has also claimed him.
Brioc - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brioc - does seem to be linked to St Briavel and a tangible place to visit, with the "Hundred of" seems the strongest contender.
St White has been mentioned on this forum before..
A much earlier site of course is (now named) St Anthony's well in Green Bottom / Littledean.

The site has a very long history and we have a St Anthony's school on Littledean Hill
My alternate vote goes to St Anthony
