Trelill

[2] Cornwall was an area where Methodism had a significant impact, and by the early 19th century there were 19 Methodist members in Trelill, so that a chapel to seat 130 was built in 1812.

In 1854 the chapel was in use by the United Free Methodists and a small burial ground was added in 1914.

[8] Trelill Tunnel is a railway tunnel on the now-closed North Cornwall Railway, which ran the Atlantic Coast Express to London, between Wadebridge and Camelford and passes directly under Trelill village.

[11] The tunnel, which is built on a curve and a falling gradient towards St Kew Highway, is single-bore, but part of the agreement allowed the size to be increased to accommodate double-track although this was never required as traffic was always light.

[12] The line closed on 3 October 1966 as part of Dr Beeching's railway cuts and the track removed soon after, although the tunnel was still in existence in 2020.
