Description
The Playing Place, Plain-an-Gwarry (in Cornish Plen an Gwari or Plen an Gwary) which stands at the heart of St. Just is one of the few surviving examples of a medieval open air theatre in Cornwall and is Scheduled Monument.
During the medieval period it was converted into an open air theatre for the showing of religious mystery plays. The structure was possibly originally a ’round’ or enclosed farming settlement which would have been constructed during the Iron Age.
