St. Erney, St. Terney's Church

Erney, St. Terney's Church

There is very little to St. Erney, a hamlet on the way to almost nowhere, just a couple of farms, a few cottages, including an attractive row and, surprisingly. an active Anglican church and a former Methodist Chapel and its adjacent Sunday School, the latter two now converted to homes. Pevsner has very little to say about the church: he notes that it was first mentioned in 1269, probably as a chapelry to Landrake church. Like so many Cornish churches, it was restored in Victorian times. I would have liked to be able to comment on the interior but, regrettably, the church was locked when I was there in early June 2018.
