Memories of The Well 1938, St Cleer

I Lived Next Door

My family lived in the cottage next to the well during the Second World War and for a short time after. I have many very happy memories, including falling asleep on the stone monument on the moors, sitting on the stone wall of the well waiting for my father to come home, going to school where Mr Churchill was the teacher, the winter of 1947. Maybe someone will remember when I was almost drowned in the 'tin mine' on the moors and all the school kids had to write letters to me in the hospital as a school project. I would love to hear from anyone who was in St Cleer during that time (perhaps some of the kids who were evacuated there during the war). Peter Wells

St Cleer Church

Church Interior 1906
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

This scene has changed little, except for the addition of carpeted areas and pews that look far more comfortable and inviting! I feel sure that every person who has walked through the doors of this church has been touched by what they have seen and the wonderful people they have met here. Todays community has added many other fine features like their fabulous millenium tapestry and the tea bar!!! I have loved this village, indeed my daughter was born here, and I have loved this church and my wonderful church family. It is with a heavy heart that I will soon have to leave here but St Cleer church will always be my favourite place and my real home.
