Marhamchurch

Marhamchurch (Cornish: Eglosvarwenn) is a civil parish and village in north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

[2] The name derives from the Celtic Saint Marwenne (Morwenna) who is thought to have founded a hermitage here around the end of the fifth century.

In the early 15th century the existence of an anchorite's cell occupied by an anchoress called Cecilia Moys is recorded.

In the 9th century the district was probably on the border between Cornwall and Devon as the farms in the parish have Saxon names unlike those of Poundstock on the other side of the River Neet.

During the festival a Queen of the Revel is chosen from the village schoolgirls and crowned by Father Time in front of the church where St. Morwenna's cells are said to have stood.
