Churches
The Parish
is served by no fewer than four churches:-
Mawnan Parish Church
Old Church Road
The Parish Church was
built in 1231, and dedicated to St Mawnan (Maunanus).
There is also St Michael’s, in the village.
Weekly services are advertised on the notice boards
( or see the Mawnan Diary).
The Parish church has many visitors, because of its location.
During the summer season it is often open during the day.
