More about this scene
This is a delightful view of the 15th-century church, which has a plain tower without pinnacles. The cottages have small gardens, walled enclosures, sheds and washing lines. The line of the Par to Newquay railway can be seen across the valley. It is interesting to note that the tide came up to this point when the church was built.

I have a print of this view in my study. My grandparents lived in the second cottage up from the church and my father was born there in 1902. My grandmother died in 1939 and my grandfather, who served in the Boer Wars and the First World War continued to live there until his death in 1946. The cottages were 2up/2down and I suspect that the toilet arrangements were "bucket and chuck it".
