St. Ewe
parishAlso known as: Pluw Ewa, Lannewa
The small but picturesque village of St. Ewe lies in the agricultural area west of Mevagissey, on the Roseland Peninsula. Known in Cornish as Lannewa, the village is situated approximately five miles southwest of St Austell. The village church is dedicated to St Ewe, of whom very little is known apart from the fact that she was female. The church was originally a Norman cruciform building: the tower and spire were added in the fourteenth century and the south aisle in the fifteenth. Inside the building is a Norman font and an ornate fifteenth century rood screen with carvings of birds and beasts, which is the only one in Cornwall to have survived the attentions of Cromwell's soldiers.
