Week St Mary

This small village was the site of a Norman fortress, and has the 15th century St Mary’s Parish Church. The ‘week’ part of the name comes from the old English ‘wic’, meaning a dairy farm. It was the birthplace of Thomasine Banaventure, who was born in humble circumstances, but who later, as Dame Percyval, founded a school in the village and rose to become Lady Mayoress of London. To the west lies Penhallam, the grass-covered ruins of a 12th to 14th century moated manor house which has been excavated, revealing low walls on a central ‘island’ and a flat-bottomed moat, which was 18 feet wide and over 5 feet deep.
