The church is Norman in origin, with a small 13th century spire. For a long time it was buried in the shifting sands, and was only dug out and restored in 1863.
It is best known for the grave of Sir John Betjeman, the much-loved former Poet Laureate.
This whole region is very popular with holiday-makers. Much of the coastline is rocky, and the tides are extreme.
Round the corner in Polzeath, we found the surfers were out in force.
On the west bank of the Camel is Padstow, a little port that is now a popular holiday resort and gastronomic centre.
We can recommend the area for a visit!
