Old Probus

Dr Alan Kent.

Probus lies in central, southern Cornwall at the head of the beautiful Roseland Peninsula. Known in Cornish as Lanbrebois, 'the holy site of Probus',its origins lie with the fifth century Celtic Christian community, named after Saint Probus. Probus has always been an agricultural and agrarian parish, which flourished on sheep farming, wool, and the skills of its horticulturalists. In the past it was known as the 'garden parish of Cornwall'. The village is traditionally famous for two icons: its granite church tower and the famous Jubilee Lamp in the village square.
