You can see the Roll of Honour (below) on the church tower (above). Some details of this magnificent window: And an explanation, if you can read it:

St. Buryan Church.  Note the war memorial to the right of the photo.   Twenty Merry Maidens… …and a dog. Cornish landsape.  

Interesting to see this inscription remembering the men of the United States Army who were billeted around here in 1944. One killed so far from home, one so near, and yet so far.  So sad.

Nothing relevant to show you in the churchyard, and the church itself, that of St. Wendrona, was sadly locked.

So if this is a churchyard where, exactly, is the church? Well once upon a time it was right here, but in 1970 it was ravaged by fire, and demolished the following year. Okay.

Shut, I’m afraid.

Now you see ’em…
