St. Clether

Clether

I was first in St. Clether in May 2007 when I did a round walk that started near St. Clether and included Tregulland, Basill, Treraven Farm, Trecollas Farm and Chapel, Polgray and the valley of the River Inny. On that occasion I sought out a couple of Cornish Crosses, one on the right in a hedge on the lane uphill towards Basill Farm, the other in a field below a leat that once fed a water mill in Basill. I took a look at Basill Manor (not open to the general public) which is home to the Peredur Trust which trains and supports youngsters with autism and learning disabilities. Opposite is a leat which, walked carefully, allows a view of a Cornisjh Cross. St. Clederus church is up the hill to the north, opposite the former Vicarage, an attractive house. Close to the church entrance (wheelchair friendly) is the Sunday School; I am unsure whether this still operates. If you take a path through the churchyard, leaving by an iron gate, you will come eventually, after about 500 yards of rough moorland, to a gate into an enclosure. Here is St. Clederus Chapel and Holy Well. The well house is separate from the chapel. The chapel is of rough stone; inside is a simple granite altar. Do not miss the 1913 notice asking for 3d (three old pence) towards the upkeep of the chapel. For that matter, don't miss the notice on the outer screen door, referring to the wire mesh as "mash."
