St Blazey (Cornish: Lanndreth) is a small town in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.
St Blaise is the civil parish in which St Blazey is situated; the name St Blaise is also used by the town council. The village of Biscovey and the settlements of St Blazey Gate, Bodelva and West Par lie within the parish boundaries. An electoral ward also exists in the name of St Blaise. The population at the 2011 census was 4,674. Once an important engineering centre for the local mine and railway industries, the parish is now dominated by the Eden Project.
St Blazey is situated 3 miles (4.8 km) east of St Austell, 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Tywardreath and 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Par.
The town takes its name from the Armenian Saint Blaise and holds a procession and service on his feast day, 3 February.
An Iron Age hillfort Prideaux Castle lies a mile to the north west of the town in the parish of Luxulyan.
The Biscovey Stone is the shaft of an ancient Celtic cross. It was inscribed, but the text is no longer readable. There are several theories about the stone; one says it dates from around 600 AD to show the Saxon advance into the county, another puts the date at around 900 AD. The head is thought to have been removed during the Reformation. The stone served as a gate post near the St Blazey turnpike gate. In 1896 it was moved to St Mary's Church, Biscovey.

The main reason for us visiting Cornwall. I wanted to walk from my mothers old house in St Blazey to The beach that many of my family members would have found memories at. We also stopped off to have a look at the place my grandfather and his brothers worked at. St Blazey sheds and wagon repairs.

While shepherds watched.
Their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground.
The angel of the Lord came down.
And glory shone around.
CHORUS:
Sweet Bells. Sweet chiming Christmas Bells,
Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells,
They cheer us on our Heavenly way sweet chiming bells.
"Fear not," said he,
For mighty dread,
Had seized their troubled minds.
"Clad tidings of great joy I bring,
To you and all mankind".
CHORUS
"To you in David's.
Town this day.
Is born of David's line.
The Savior who is Christ the Lord,
And this shall be the sign."
CHORUS
"All glory be to,
God on high.
And to the earth be peace:
Goodwill henceforth,
From heaven to men,
Begin and never cease!"
CHORUS
Repeat first verse
