Temple Church (St. Catherine's) on Bodmin Moor
I revisited Temple Church in early August 2019. This time I was delighted to find it open so I was able to take some interior photos. The church is essentially very simple and its best feature is its stained glass much of which relates to the founders of the church, the Kights Templar and their successors here, the Knights Hospitaller.

The Three Churches of St. Minver Parish
On a hot late August Sunday we did a walk to take a look at the three churches in St. Minver Parish on the Camel estuary. This is Jane's home territory; she was raised in Trebetherick and Rock in the parish. We parked above Daymer Bay, walked across St. Enodoc golf course to St. Enodoc church and the Jesus Well, down through Rock to the Camel estuary for pasties at the Rock Inn, across the beach to St. Michael Porthilly, through pasture land to St. Menefreda's in St. Minver, and by Roserrow golf course back to Daymer Bay. You could do this by car for the churches, or as an eight mile walk, using OS Explorer sheet 106. Refreshments in Rock; Fourways Inn in St. Minver was poor (2013 believed much improved); the clubhouse at Roserrow (now The Point at Polzeath) serves excellent good value food.

Tregaminion
I first encountered the little church of Tregaminion, in the middle of nowhere about 2 miles from Fowey, while walking the Saints way from Fowey to Padstow in early summer 2006. I visited it again, in early September 2018, at the beginning of a day seeing St. Andrew's Church in Tywardreath and St. Fimbarrus Church in Fowey. The church was built in 1815 as a Chapel of Ease to St. Andrew's at Tywardreath. It was closed each time I tried to visit. Notable features, visible from the outside, are a small bellcote and the old arms of the Rashleighs, unearthed when the church was being built. To the right of the church, on a bank, is quite a tall Cornish Cross. To the left, also on a bank, is a short Cornish Cross.
