History

Saint-Lormel comes seems it of Lunaire saint (still called Leonor or Lourmel). Saint Lunaire is the son of Hoël the Large one and holy Pompée. Its birth, in 509, took place overseas, because the royal family of Brittany had been obliged to seek an asylum in Wales. To 5 years, Lunaire is entrusted to Iltud saint. At 15 years, it is ordered by Oubrice saint, and later he becomes bishop. He embarks with 73 disciples and accosts to 6 km of Saint-Malo. He dies at the 51 years age.

Saint-Lormel is a dismemberment of the old primitive parish of Pluduno. The primitive church of Saint-Lormel goes certainly up at the time Gallo-Roman (druidic source).
