A look around Lanivet Parish Church, Cornwall
A look around the historic parish church at Lanivet, a village near Bodmin, Cornwall, UK. Recorded by Peter Tylor, 03/04/2017, and edited on 05/04/2017 using the YouTube Video Editor (
Although I have passed through Lanivet many times on the way between St Austell and Bodmin, this is only the second time I have visited the church. My main reason for coming here this time was to play the interesting-looking pipe organ - which I will be uploading some videos of shortly!
With thanks to Lanivet PCC for giving me permission to play the organ here - and especially to Valerie Moore, PCC Secretary, for arranging this visit.

Revd Philip de Grey-Warter's Story about Leaving the CofE
Listen in as an English vicar tells his church family why he is leaving the Church of England, and with the support of Gafcon will be starting a new Anglican church in Cornwall. Please pray for Philip and Naomi de Grey-Warter, their children and Anchor Anglican Church, Fowey.
Germoe parish church
This video is of the inside of St Germoe's church at Germoe, near Praa sands, near Helston, Cornwall, UK. The very nice granite church is together with Breage church and Ashton Mission church so that it can stay open for longer and costs less money. A lot of churches in the UK have done this now.
Colan parish church
This video is of the inside of the church of St Colanus at Colan, near Newquay, Cornwall, UK. The church of St Colanus stands in a valley with trees all around and not many houses. The church is a nice building with some nice windows inside.

Fowey is a small town, civil parish and cargo port at the mouth of the River Fowey in south Cornwall, England. Fowey has been in existence since before 1300; the estuary of the River Fowey forms a natural harbour which enabled the town to become an important trading centre. Privateers also made use of the sheltered harbourage. The Lostwithiel and Fowey Railway brought China clay here for export.
Fowey is a small town, civil parish and cargo port at the mouth of the River Fowey in south Cornwall, England. Fowey is at the entrance to a large flooded valley created after the last ice age by the melt waters that caused the sea level to rise dramatically, creating a large natural harbour which is navigable for its last seven miles.
Fowey is in the South Coast (Eastern Section) of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are many historic buildings in the town, including the ruins of St Catherine's Castle, while Readymoney Cove possesses a local beach.
The church is dedicated to Saint Finbarr and is listed Grade I. It was built in the early 14th century and rededicated in 1336, replacing a previous Norman church. Fowey has thrived as a port for hundreds of years, initially as a trading and naval town, then as the centre for china clay exports. Today Fowey is busy with trawlers and yachts. Tourism is also an important source of income
Although Fowey railway station closed to passengers in 1965, the Lostwithiel to Fowey branch line remains open for goods traffic, carrying bulk china clay to the jetties at Carne Point. The surrounding coastline of Fowey is popular with fishermen and spear-fishermen. Many sea creatures can be seen all around the Cornish shoreline, including mullet, bass, mackerel, lobsters and cuttlefish. Many of the species can be seen in the Fowey Aquarium in the heart of the town, which includes a very rare Albino Bull Huss.

Lamerton parish church
This video is of the inside of St Peter's church at Lamerton, near Tavistock, Devon, UK. This is quite a large church and was the first place me and some friends visited. It is quite a large church and is on the outskirts of Lamerton village. I called it a parish church but it is actually joined on with Sydenham Damerel parish but Lamerton is still it's own parish, for now.

Withiel parish church
This video is of the inside of the church of St Clement at Withiel, near Wadebridge, Cornwall, UK. The church is a very light and colourful building but it is old! The organ at the front may look new and really nicely done but not long ago it wasn't. The National pipe organ register said that this organ is in a bad state of repair so the church and the village got it fixed so that it works again.
Launcells parish church
This video is of the church of St Swithin at Launcells, near Whitstone, near Stratton, Cornwall, UK. This church is old but very light and is in a beautiful location.

Polperro is a village and fishing harbour on the south-east Cornwall coast in the south west of England, within the civil parish of Lansallos. Polperro, through which runs the River Pol, is 7 miles (11 km) east of Fowey and 4 miles (6 km) west of the neighbouring town of Looe and 25 miles (40 km) west of the major city and naval port of Plymouth.
Polperro is a noted tourist destination, particularly in the summer months, for its idyllic appearance with tightly-packed ancient fishermen's houses which survive almost untouched, Polperro quaint harbour and attractive coastline.
Tourism became Polperro's main industry during the 20th century. The village of Polperro is accessible by air via Plymouth or Newquay, by train via Looe railway station, by road and by boat. It was estimated that Polperro received about 25,000 visitors a day during summer in the 1970s. Visitors are no longer permitted to drive cars into the village, having to leave them in the main car park at Crumplehorn to the north of the village and walk through the half-mile length of the village to its harbour. Polperro quaint but narrow streets make driving difficult. There are horse and cart rides and milk floats disguised as trams for those who prefer not to walk.
Attractions of Polperro include the South West Coast Path, the 630-mile (1,010 km)-long and established walk from Dorset to Somerset which passes through the village, and offers day walks along the local scenic coastline, in particular to nearby Talland Bay on the coast path heading East. Westwards, the path passes three large beaches en route to Fowey: Lansallos Beach, Lantivit Bay and Lantic Bay.[20] Within the village is the Polperro Heritage Museum of Fishing and Smuggling, situated on the harbourside in an old fish processing warehouse, which houses interesting photographs of the village's history among other popular displays. Guided walks are available in the village, and boat trips can be taken from the harbour to view the coastline which can offer sightings of dolphins and seals.
The village of Polperro boasts several acclaimed restaurants, including Nelson's and Couch's Great House, as well as seven pubs. A holiday and caravan park is situated outside the village to the northeast at Carey Park. Fishing was traditionally the principal occupation of Polperro families. For centuries the village has been a pilchard fishing and processing port. Fish are drawn for feeding off the South Cornwall coast in late summer bringing rich pickings for local fishermen.
Other than traditional festival days, The Polperro Festival has been held annually since 1996, being a community festival run by volunteers beginning on the 3rd Saturday in June which helps to promote business for the village. Polperro has many legends including that of the ghost of Willy Wilcox who was reputed to be a smuggler and disappeared whilst hiding in the beaches' labyrinthine caves.

Jonathan Delbridge rehearsing his Theme and Variations on Trelawny at Fowey Parish Church
As part of the Fowey Festival I gave a lunchtime organ concert on 10 May 2013. One of the pieces in the programme was my own Theme and Variations on Trelawny. This video was recorded during a rehearsal for the concert at the church. I apologise therefore for some of the background noise. However, it hopefully gives you an idea of the wonderful 3-manual instrument at the church and my own set of 6 Variations on this Cornish Anthem. I do hope to get a professional recording of this piece soon so do visit jonathandelbridge.com or facebook.com/JonathanDelbridgepiano to keep up to date!

Places to see in ( Marazion - UK )
Marazion is a civil parish and town in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Marazion is situated on the shore of Mount's Bay, 2 miles east of Penzance and 1 mile east of Long Rock. St Michael's Mount is half-a-mile offshore from Marazion. At low water a causeway links it to the town and at high water passenger boats carry visitors between Marazion and St Michael's Mount.
Marazion lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park. Marazion is a thriving tourist resort with an active community of artists who produce and sell paintings and pottery in the town's numerous art galleries.
Remains of an ancient bronze furnace, discovered near the town, tend to prove that tin smelting was practised here at an early period. Marazion was not recorded in the Domesday Book of 1088. Marazion was once a flourishing town, owing its prosperity to the throng of pilgrims who came to visit St Michael's Mount (this ceased at the time of the Reformation). During the first half of the 16th century it was twice plundered; first by the French, and later by Cornish rebels. The rise and progress of the neighbouring borough of Penzance in the 17th century marginalised Marazion.
The West Cornwall Railway opened Marazion railway station on 11 March 1852 and its goods yard handled a large volume of perishable traffic – fish, fruit and vegetables – from the surrounding farms and harbours. Marazion station closed to passenger traffic in October 1964 and to freight in December 1965. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution opened a 'Marazion Lifeboat Station' in 1990, although the D-class (EA16) inshore lifeboat was actually kept in a shed on the quayside on St Michael's Mount.
The lack of notable or historic buildings led Nikolaus Pevsner to omit the town entirely from the first edition of his Buildings of England account of Cornwall. In the second edition Marazion is described as attractive as a whole and he says of the area near the ferry port: the cobbled pavements and old houses .. give a look of Lyme Regis to the old centre of the town. Nevertheless, several notable architectural buildings lie in the eastern part of Marazion including Chymorvah House and the Mount Haven Hotel next to it, once one of the most haunted hotels in Cornwall, with views of the mount from its terrace. Also of note are Marazion Town Hall and Marazion War Memorial. The original parish church is at St Hilary. In Marazion there was a chapel of ease dedicated to St Hermes (recorded in 1308): by 1735 it had become ruinous and was rebuilt. In 1861 a new church (dedicated to All Saints) was built on the same site which became a parish church in 1893.
