Morval, Cornwall

To the north the parish is bounded by the parishes of Dobwalls and Trewidland and Menheniot, to the east by St Germans, to the south by St Martin-by-Looe and to the west by Duloe.

[3] The 13th-century parish church is situated in a secluded location at OS Grid Ref SX260567 in Morval hamlet.

[10] A hundred metres south of the church is Morval House,[11] the manor house, a large Tudor residence which was once the home of the Glynn, Buller and Kitson families.

[12] The descent of the manor of Morval was as follows: The estate was the property of John Coode, whose daughter and sole heiress Anne Coode married John Buller (1632–1716), MP, of Shillingham near Saltash, in Cornwall.

[14] They derived much of their political power from their kinship to the Trelawny family of Trelawny in the parish of Pelynt, Cornwall, who controlled the pocket borough of nearby East Looe.
