St. Wenn and Withiel

Wenn and Withiel

I visited the little villages of St. Wenn and Withiel in late September 2016. Neither has pub, shop or post office though St. Wenn does have a primary school. I have to say that, apart from Withiel's colourful organ and St. Wenn's lych gate, the churches are probably Cornwall's least interesting. The most striking feature at Withiel is that the church sits up on a great mound, suggesting pre-historic occupation. Oddly St. Wenn's church sits below the summit of the hill. Withiel has carved roof bosses and an eye-catching colourful organ. St. Wenn has a good medieval font.
