Mawnan is a civil parish in Cornwall, United Kingdom [1], comprising several villages and hamlets including Mawnan Smith and Mawnan Church.
It is the home of some splendid Victorian gardens, now open to the public: Glendurgan, Trebah, Carwinion[2] and Penjerrick.
A directory of business in Mawnan, Constantine and Gweek, parishes is published each year.[3] A strange owlman cryptid has been seen flying over the church.
Churches
There are two Anglican churches: the 13th Century Church of St Mawnan and St Stephen in Mawan Church and the Church of St Michael in Mawnan Smith village.
John Rogers was rector here in 1807.[4]
The land for St Michael's Church was given by the Rogers family of Carwinion and the building was completed in 1874.
The village of Mawnan Smith also has a Methodist chapel. There is a Catholic Church dedicated to St Edward the Confessor in Old Church Road, which was completed in 1965.
