Carvings from St Eval Church, Cornwall

[John Liddle]

SWMBO and I visited the Parish Church of St Eval in Cornwall last week . We had a special reason to go (which I will cover in another post) but we had not realised how lovely the interior is. These carved pews and pulpit date (if memory serves) from the late 1600s.

Nice set John. There are some excellent carvings to be seen in many of our Churches, all too often they go unseen.

Enjoyable set John looks an interesting church, good to see it open. Surprised Rick Stein hasn’t taken it over so close to Padstow.

An really nice set of pics John, There can be excellent things to take pics of in churches. Is that original paintwork in the first pic?

Super set which beautifully shows the craftsmanship.
I love looking at churches, I think this one would have that special feel / scent.
