Brannoc of Braunton was a 6th-century Christian saint and abbess who migrated from South Wales to the Devon region. She is primarily associated with the village of Braunton, where she established a monastery. Although some historical accounts occasionally confuse her identity with Saint Brynach, the distinct feast days maintained by Exeter Cathedral suggest they are different individuals. Her legacy remains deeply connected to the local landscape and the religious history of the English county of Devon.
