About our parish
Sancreed is a rural civil parish in West Penwith, at the far western tip of Cornwall, about three miles west of Penzance. Made up of scattered farms and hamlets, including Sancreed Churchtown, Newbridge, Drift, Grumbla and Brane, it is the only parish in Penwith without a coastline, and remains a quiet patchwork of farmland, moorland and ancient lanes. It is also unusually rich in history and landscape, from Sancreed Beacon and the ancient village of Carn Euny to the medieval parish church of St Creden and its old holy well. Read more →
