Find a church

St Wynwallow is tucked away on a lane heading down to Church Cove. It is a haven of peace and quiet for visitors who come in for a chance to cool down in the summer or shelter from the elements in the winter.

This is a rural church to savour, a small, white painted building with a neat weather boarded belfry crowned by a lead covered broach spire.

This was the first Cistercian foundation in England since the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century.

Above the porch door is a chiro stone lozenge found on site in the 1860s which dates from 350-400AD, the Christian faith has been here for more than 1600 years!

Designed by London architects JER and CP Cutts, the building contains work by Sir Ninian Comper, Martin Travers and Sir William Milner & Romilly Craze.

The chapel is in an idyllic position, with the big house on one side and a lake on the other. It is a building entirely in the Gothic style, but was actually built during the 17th century Commonwealth.

Come and see the wonderful colouring in our east windows.

St Elwyn is located next to the estuary of Hayle near to three miles of golden sand and it has an imposing presence above the town.
