Until we visited this lovely Cornish seaside village on our drive from Land's End to John O'Groats in 2018, I had never heard of it. Our hosts who were showing us around Cornwall we’re quick to inform us that this village was quite famous with most Britons.

So I have … [Read more...] about British Landscapes: Churches, Chapels and Crosses
