About Morvah...
Morvah parish is one of the smallest in Cornwall, and currently has a population of 59 adults and 10 children. The church was dedicated in 1409 to St Morwetha, and was built by the Knights of St John as a daughter church to the church at Madron. Soon after this, however, the church was dedicated to St Bridget of Sweden, who had formed the order of Bridgentines in 1373. On the cliffs at Tregaminion is the Bronze Age Holy Well near the site of an early Christian chapel which was probably built around 6th to 8th Century AD, and the water from the well was used by the villagers up until mains water was provided in the 1960's. On 25th July 1744, Charles Wesley prayed over the foundations of a new Society House in Morvah, and this was the Wesleyan chapel there until a new chapel was built adjacent to it in 1866. The old building was then used for a while as a Sunday School and had fallen into dereliction before being renovated and a 1st floor added in the 1980's to be used as a dwelling house. This was later to become The Schoolhouse in 1999.
The area also has a unique place in Britain's natural history with many species of flora and fauna found nowhere else in the British Isles.
Endless skies, endless seas and epic footpaths.
The corner of a farm yard, a tranquil church, dazzling sunsets, and wind blown rock faces.
