n rolling countryside, two miles away from St Winnow, lies St Nectan's chapel, it is a Chapel of Ease (a church built to accommodate those living at a distance from the parish church), it has been part of the parish since the 13th century.
St Nectan's chapel survived the civil war but the top stories of the medieval tower were knocked off by Parliamentary cannon fire. It was rebuilt and enlarged in the 19th century, and then fell into disrepair. In the 1960s parishioners carefully restored a reduced size chapel.
St Nectan's churchyard is still much in use and provides the current parish burial ground and is part of Cornwall's Living Churchyards. This is a Project which varies depending on the churchyard management, but in most churchyards managed for conservation you will find areas left unmown for part of the year as well as other special measures taken with wildlife in mind.
