Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park. St Just is one of only two towns included within the Cornwall AONB.
The identity of Saint Just is not known. Cornwall's long resistance to the edicts of Canterbury and Rome makes it most unlikely that the saint was Archbishop Justus of Canterbury, as some sources claim.[citation needed] Another possibility is the 6th- or 7th-century Saint Iestyn, said to be the son of a ruler of Dumnonia.
Among the prehistoric antiquities nearby is Ballowall Barrow, a chambered tomb. St Just is one of the most ancient mining districts in Cornwall, and remains of ancient pre-industrial and more modern mining activity have had a considerable impact on the nearby landscape.
The parish church of St Just is a fine 15th-century building. In 1336 the church was rebuilt and dedicated by John Grandisson, Bishop of Exeter; however only the chancel of this church survives and the nave and aisles are 15th-century in date. There are two Methodist chapels. St Just is the home of Cape Cornwall School which also serves Sennen, Sancreed, Pendeen, St Buryan and other places in the district.
St Just is home to the popular Lafrowda festival a seven-day community and arts celebration usually held in Mid July. A more ancient celebration associated with the town is St Just Feast which is held every year to celebrate the dedication of the parish church in 13 July 1336. Feast celebrations were moved to the Sunday nearest to All Saints' Day in 1536 following an Act of Henry VIII which means it usually take place at the end of October / beginning of November. Feast itself is a two-day event with a church service and civic procession being held on Feast Sunday and a larger scale popular celebration being held on Feast Monday (which includes a meeting of the Western Hunt).

St Just also has a 'Plen an Gwarry' (Cornish for playing place), locally pronounced 'Plain an Gwarry'. These sites were used historically for open-air performance, entertainment and instruction. St Just's Plen an Gwarry occasionally hosts productions of the Cornish Ordinalia mystery plays. St Just has a healthy artistic scene, including the painter Kurt Jackson who has made several television appearances. Contemporary singer and comedian Jethro from nearby St Buryan played for St Just Rugby Club and has recorded a song entitled St Just.

Mystery stone circle in the rain. England.
I have grown disturbingly accustomed to always being cold and wet, squelching through the moors and bogs in the rain to find standing stones and other ancient and mysterious sites. Unfortunately I can't remember exactly which stone circle this is. I thought it was the Merry Maidens in Cornwall, but I just found another video of Merry Maidens and the stones don't look like the ones in this video. If you recognize this stone circle and can identify it, please comment and let me know!

The Merry Maidens Stone Circle - in Cornwall
19 merry maidens were petrified in Cornwall for dancing on a Sunday, ages ago.
We visited them in December 2012 AD.
As a precaution, we refrained from dancing there ourselves.
Towednack church
This video is of the inside of St Winwalloe's church at Towednack, near St Ives, Cornwall, UK. The church was used in some filming for the BBC drama Poldark. The church has a small tower which is said to be small because the devil knocked some of it down every time they tried to built it higher. In the end they gave up. The church is not the easiest church to get to but it is worth it!
O.P. - Spaces & Places
This little film was prepared for an exhibition by Olga Plastira, a Greek sculptress who chiefly works in marble on the island of Naxos. Olga often focuses on female form and manages to intergrate aspects of prehistoric Greek Cycladic imagery. Olga was born in Chalkis, Euboea, but came to Naxos for its type of marble. Her stonework is sometimes on a large scale, and since marble is heavy, she sometimes needs a crane to move her pieces! Her drawings and sketches, also unique, can by contrast be very small. The original film (previously posted on YouTube) combined images from two past shows she has had - one on Naxos and one in Athens. It has since been updated to include images from a roadtrip she made in Britain where she explored British prehistoric sacred sites/dolmens like Stonehenge in Wiltshire or The Merry Maidens in Cornwall, as well as the much more contemporary Hepworth Gardens in St Ives.
For more information about Olga and her art, including imagery of her latest work, see:
