Description
An impressive statue of St Wynwallow in the churchyard at Church Cove Gunwalloe on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall with the old Poldhu Hotel on the cliffs in the distance framed by the vegetation.
The beautiful 15th century church is dedicated to St Winwaloe and is unusual in that bell tower is completely detached from the church itself and it is the only church in Cornwall located on a beach.
Winwaloe, or Winwallus, was a 5th century Breton cleric, the son of a prince of Dumnonia, the Brythonic kingdom that occupied most of modern Cornwall and Devon. He was born in Brittany around AD 460 after his parents fled there to avoid an outbreak of the plague.
