St Just in RoselandThis enchanting hamlet is home to the exquisite 13th century St Just Parish Church, which lies in one of the most superb settings in the country. Surrounded by gardens that contain many subtropical trees and shrubs, including African fire bush and Chilean myrtle - it is probably Cornwall’s most photographed church, and arguably its most beautiful. The present church was dedicated to St Just on 14th August 1261, by Walter, Bishop of Exeter, and the chancel with its double piscina is of this date. St Just is said to have been a son of Geriant of Anglesey, after whom Gerrans Bay is named. A.V. Morton, in his book In Search of England, called the churchyard ‘one of the little known glories of England’. Unfortunately, the interior of the church does not live up to expectations as it underwent a clumsy Victorian restoration. |
