St Gothian’s Church in Gwithian
The coastal village of Gwithian in Cornwall, situated in St Ives Bay, is home to the iconic Godrevy Lighthouse, National Trust site of Godrevy Farm and home to a number of places for food and drink, including Sunset Surf and The Jam Pot Cafe. A short walk along St Gothian Sands behind Gwithian Beach takes you to the residential village, where there’s a camping and caravan site and a pub, the Red River Inn. Only next door to the Red River Inn is St Gothian’s Church (also known as Gwithian Church) which works closely with St Elwyn’s in Hayle. The church is open for visitors every day, as well as offering Sunday church services. I came to visit some war memorials whereby there’s three at the church; one tablet outside in the porch and the other two are inside as a painting with a roll of honour and a stained glass window, including five Commonwealth War Graves in the graveyard. St Gothian’s Church is your typical small village church that’s very small and cute, carrying cottagecore vibes....
