Morewenstow

Morewenstow is a small village about six miles north of Bude and close to the Devon border. The church is from the Norman period and the churchyard is the resting place for sailors who had drowned and were washed up on the parish boundaries. The nearby coast is hazardous to shipping and the corpses of drowned sailors were laid out in the churchyard and then buried. There is a path leading form the church to the cliff side.
