St Merryn
St Merryn (Cornish: S. Meryn)[1] is a civil parish and village in north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.Churches named after a Celtic saint Merin include those in Llanferin, Gwent; Bodferin, Wales; and Plomelin, Brittany.[10][12] Alban Butler describes the celebrated Saint Marina of Bithynia as a woman who lived and died during the 8th century.The Ward Room was housed within the Cornish Arms Inn; there is an honour roll posted at the location commemorating the aviators of the St Merryn air field.[17] The shipment, coordinated by the Meat and Livestock Commission in Britain, came three weeks after the European Union lifted its ban on the import of British beef.[20] The church building is of Norman foundation but the chancel, south aisle and upper part of the tower are of the 15th century.[21] The font of Cataclewse stone, quarried on Trevose Head, has carved figures of the twelve Apostles;[22][23] It originally belonged to the chapel of St Constantine in the parish.The plaster coat of arms of Charles II, commissioned in 1662 by Harlyn House's Thomas Peter, is located near the tower.The shale and slate stone church was estimated to have been 40 by 24 feet (12.2 by 7.3 m) with a "nave and chancel, south aisle and west tower".[32] The chapel was re-roofed in 1290, on orders from the Bishop of Exeter so the Vicar of St Merryn could hold mass on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays.[34] The original early 19th century chapel, made of stone rubble with a slate roof, was also a single-storied building with a rectangular plan.[35] In 1507 Thomas de Tregew donated a small field to "the youth of St Merryn for the celebration of Cornish sports".More recently there have been tournaments for prize money in the Green near the Drill Hall,[41] in the field behind the Farmers' Arms[42] and at the St Merryn Steam Rally.
