St Helen's, Isles of Scilly

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

St Helen's (Cornish: Ynys Elidius) is one of the Isles of Scilly. An early Christian chapel exists on the island. It is possibly named after a St Elid, a Welsh bishop. The island was once used as a place where ill sailors were left to die.
