More about this scene

St Endellienta's church is beside the road between Polzeath and Delabole, a mile south of Port Isaac. The tower is notable for its construction in granite blocks and the pinnacles capped with small balls. Grey-painted walls are unusual inside, but there are wagon roofs, arcades and a floor of slate slabs. The plain font is Norman. A fine tomb chest in the south aisle is carved from black Catacleuse stone and dates from around 1400. The well-kept churchyard has slate tombstones and other memorials.

In this old and wonderful church I was baptised, went to Sunday school and was confirmed, and every time I enter it I am in awe and feel my ancesters all around me.  Being born and brought up in Trelights, my mother was a Brown and the Browns were the village carpenters with a workshop in the heart of the village, it's still there but now converted into a cottage but still roughly the same shape.
