A shortish post today following on from yesterday's post: A Perfect Day At Mylor Cornwall. While at the village we also visited the local church.
The church was founded over 1500 years ago by St. Mylor (St. Melorus). As with many Cornish saints of the Celtic Church he has links also with Brittany. It is generally quoted that he died in 411 A.D.
The present church is of Norman origin, circa 1100 AD, and has many interesting features such as: the Norman Doorway, a 15th century Rood Screen, Elizabethan Pulpit and a 13th century font.
These old churches have such a lot of history in them, this one is unusual in design with a square tower rising out of the table end.
ReplyDeleteWe tend to visit churches wherever we go - they are so full of history. Thanks David.
DeleteSo beautiful and peaceful there.
ReplyDeleteAgree entirely - thanks for visiting my blog.
DeleteThe memorial to Howard Spring is in the Churchyard, it is his sundial. He once lived in a bungalow near the Church.
