To the northwest foot of the St Agnes Beacon is Cameron Quarry and St Agnes Beacon Pits, Sites of Special Scientific Interest noted for their geological interest. Trevaunance Cove is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Geological Conservation Review site of national importance for the ?... the two principal ore-bearing mineral veins associated with the Hercynian St. Agnes-Cligga granite?.
The Church of St Agnes is believed to have been built as a chapel of ease about 1482, on the foundation of what is possibly an ancient Celtic church (410 to 1066 AD). The records of the Diocese of Exeter refer to a chapel of St Agnes in the parish of Perranzabuloe in 1374.
The St Agnes Parish Museum provides information about the history of the St Agnes area. Historically, St Agnes and the surrounding area relied on fishing, farming and mining for copper and tin.

Little Orchard Village
Close to St Agnes is a civil parish and a large village on the north coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.
The Village has been created in a lovely wooded valley very close to Trevaunance Cove with its sheltered sandy beaches.
Benedict XVI blesses two lambs for the feast of St. Agnes
January 21, 2011. Benedict XVI has carried out the traditional blessing of two lambs for the feast of St. Agnes. The wool of these sheep will be used to make the pallium for the feast of Saints Peter and Paul on June 29.
The Pope will deliver it to the new metropolitan archbishops.
The pallium are circular bands of wool decorated with six crosses of silk that the Pope sent to the metropolitan bishops as a sign of their special significance.
In attendance at the blessing were trappist monks from the Abbey of the Three Fountains, where they raise sheep and the religious of Santa Cecilia live and make the pallium.
This blessing is part of the ritual for the feast of St. Agnes. The Roman martyr is represented in art with a lamb in her arms, because according to tradition she was killed the same way as they were.
Agnes of Rome (c. 291 -- c.304) is a virgin--martyr, venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Anglican Communion. She is one of seven women, excluding the Blessed Virgin, commemorated by name in the Canon of the Mass. She is the patron saint of chastity, gardeners, girls, engaged couples, rape victims, and virgins.
She is also known as Saint Agnes, Saint Jumah and Saint Ines. Her memorial, which commemorates her martyrdom, is 21 January in both the Roman Catholic calendar of saints and in the General Roman Calendar of 1962. The 1962 calendar includes a second feast on 28 January,[1] which commemorates her birthday. Agnes is depicted in art with a lamb, as her name resembles the Latin word for lamb, agnus. The name Agnes is actually derived from the feminine Greek adjective hagnē (ἁγνή) meaning chaste, pure, sacred.
According to tradition, Saint Agnes was a member of the Roman nobility born c. 291 and raised in a Christian family. She suffered martyrdom at the age of twelve[2] or thirteen during the reign of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, on 21 January 304.
The Prefect Sempronius wished Agnes to marry his son, and on Agnes' refusal he condemned her to death. As Roman law did not permit the execution of virgins, Sempronius had a naked Agnes dragged through the streets to a brothel. Various versions of the legend give different methods of escape from this predicament. In one, as she prayed, her hair grew and covered her body. It was also said that all of the men who attempted to rape her were immediately struck blind. In another the son of the prefect is struck dead, but revived after Agnes prayed for him, causing her release. There is then a trial from which Sempronius excuses himself, and another figure presides, sentencing her to death. When led out to die she was tied to a stake, but the bundle of wood would not burn, or the flames parted away from her, whereupon the officer in charge of the troops drew his sword and beheaded her, or, in some other texts, stabbed her in the throat. It is also said that the blood of Agnes poured to the stadium floor where other Christians soaked up the blood with cloths.
A few days after Agnes' death, her foster-sister, Saint Emerentiana was found praying by her tomb; she claimed to be the daughter of Agnes' wet nurse, and was stoned to death after refusing to leave the place and reprimanding the pagans for killing her foster sister. Emerentiana was also later canonized. The daughter of Constantine I, Saint Constance, was also said to have been cured of leprosy after praying at Agnes' tomb. Emerentiana and Constance appear in the scenes from the life of Agnes on the 14th-century Royal Gold Cup in the British Museum.
Agnes' bones are conserved in the church of Sant'Agnese fuori le mura in Rome, built over the catacomb that housed Agnes' tomb. Her skull is preserved in a side chapel in the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone in Rome's Piazza Navona.
An early account of Agnes' death, stressing her steadfastness and virginity, but not the legendary features of the tradition, is given by Saint Ambrose.
An interesting custom is observed on her feast day. Two lambs are brought from the Trappist abbey of Tre Fontane in Rome to the pope to be blessed. On Holy Thursday they are shorn, and from the wool is woven the pallium which the pope gives to a newly consecrated metropolitan archbishop as a sign of his jurisdiction and his union with the pope.
Saint Agnes is the patron saint of young girls. Folk custom called for them to practice rituals on Saint Agnes' Eve (20--21 January) with a view to discovering their future husbands. This superstition has been immortalized in John Keats's poem, The Eve of Saint Agnes.
She is represented in art as a young girl in robes, holding a palm branch in her hand and a lamb at her feet or in her arms.

NEW WORLD IN MINATURE VIDEO 2011.mpg
My latest compilation of our visit this year along with some photo's that I've managed to track down and add to my video so that people can see what was there and whats been left, which isn't much I can tell you !!
Miniatura Park which was formerly called The World in Miniature at Goonhavern, Near Newquay, just off the main
A3075 on the which runs through Goonhavern, tucked away in a secret corner of the village now behind locked gates.
There was 2 leisure parks of this nature in Cornwall, this one at Goonhavern and it's Sister park which was at St Agnes, which was called St Agnes Model Village, with the World in miniature located at Goonhavern, the sister park when I visited it as a kid in infants school was pretty good at the time and I don't think had been open too long, but I always remembered that they brought in the Dinosaurs a couple of years maybe after I went there when I was about 6 maybe but never returned to see the addition of the various dinosaurs, when the model village was closed they brought most of the dinosaurs over and set them up at the Goonhavern site sometime in the early 90's, but again I never visited, well not as a paying customer anyhow, until it was too late and they closed the Goonhavern site in October 2008, and here we are visiting the site and there's not alot left let alone any dinosaurs.
Like they say use it or loose it, or maybe I've heard it was old hat and outdated as an attraction, and by the looks of it and what I've read on various reviews a run down rip off to visit, shame but then these places have a fairly high running cost especially the gardeners that used to keep this place trimmed up !!
An update on the site at Goonhavern was that it was going to be developed into holiday style log timber homes set within the present gardens and with a name of Goonhavern Pines, there was planning permission approved a couple of years ago now, but due to the economic decline I suppose that projects been put on hold and the website for goonhavern pines has been taken down, so who knows !!
The video's not quite finished yet as I wanted to add a bit more on the end, but here's what I've done so far !!!! Enjoy
Anybody that can add more information or detail to it can leave me a comment and then I can add it to the video later.

Places to see in ( Freshwater - UK )
Places to see in ( Freshwater - UK )
Freshwater is a large village and civil parish at the western end of the Isle of Wight, England. Freshwater Bay is a small cove on the south coast of the Island which also gives its name to the nearby part of Freshwater. Freshwater sits at the western end of the region known as the Back of the Wight or the West Wight which is a popular tourist area.
Freshwater is close to steep chalk cliffs. It was the birthplace of physicist Robert Hooke and was the home of Poet Laureate Alfred Lord Tennyson. Freshwater is famous for its geology and coastal rock formations that have resulted from centuries worth of coastal erosion. The Arch Rock was a well-known local landmark.
Freshwater's beach is very popular. It is mostly sandy but it is also covered in chalk from the nearby cliffs, which is frequently gathered by tourists as souvenirs. Freshwater features an excellent example of a surviving Victorian Beach hotel, The Albion. The Albion was built around the time Freshwater became popularised as a coastal resort, and is still popular today. However, the heavy storms which often lift rocks and other debris from the beach means that the building's exterior walls often have to be repainted, with cracks, chips and dents in the walls often being repaired too.
The hills above Freshwater are named after Tennyson. On the nearby Tennyson Down is a Cornish granite cross erected in 1897 in tribute to Tennyson, by the people of Freshwater, and other friends in England and America. There is also a hill in the area called 'Hooke Hill', named for Robert Hooke. All Saints' Church, Freshwater is one of the oldest churches on the Isle of Wight, and was listed in the Domesday survey of 1086.
Dimbola Lodge, the home of Julia Margaret Cameron and now a photographic museum, is in the village of Freshwater Bay, which is part of Freshwater. There is also a tearoom and bookstore. Tennyson's son, Hallam donated land for a new church in Freshwater Bay. Hallam's wife Audrey suggested that the church be named for St. Agnes. St. Agnes' Church, Freshwater was consecrated on 12 August 1908.
Freshwater was the site of the largest station on the Freshwater, Yarmouth and Newport Railway that operated from 20 July 1889 to 21 September 1953. Freshwater is near the source of the Western Yar, a river whose estuary runs north to Yarmouth. Freshwater Marshes are a Site of Special Scientific Interest,
At the western end of Freshwater Bay on a bluff are the remains of Fort Redoubt, also known as Fort Freshwater or Freshwater Redoubt, a Palmerston Fort. Fort Redoubt was built in 1855-1856 to protect Freshwater Bay, and was in use until the early 20th century. It was sold by the military in 1928. Presently, part of it is a private residence, and other portions are being developed as holiday flats.
Freshwater is linked to other parts of the Island by Southern Vectis buses on route 7 and route 12 serving Totland, Yarmouth and Newport as well as intermediate villages. In the Summer, open top bus The Needles Tour and tourist service Island Coaster serve Freshwater Bay. Freshwater is on the Isle of Wight Coastal Path.
