St Maddern's Church

Penwith, United Kingdom

St Maddern's Church is a large building of the 15th century; however it retains some 14th century work in the chancel. The font bowl (disused) is said to be Norman and there are a few old bench ends. The church was not finished until 1500.

To the north-east of the church is the granite ashlar mausoleum for the Rose-Price family of Trengwainton.

I attended a very beautiful and sensitive funeral service for a relative here.

A lovely historic church. Sung evensong from the Book of Common Prayer was a fitting service to attend.

Drove through the village to fund the church hosting the local(illegal) fox hunt! What sort of church is this? Do not support it!

Beautiful old church in the middle of a very picturesque village. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
