St Cripsin is the patron saint of shoemakers, due to the prominent part shoemaking plays in his life story and preaching. He was martyred on the 25th October, sometime in the 3rd century A.D. As a result, his processional day, organised by the shoemakers, cobblers and cordwainers' guild, and taken as holiday by them, occurs on this day.
