Mevagissey, Fishing village on the southern coast of Cornwall, England
Mevagissey features two harbors connected to a network of narrow streets that wind through stone buildings toward the surrounding hillsides
The settlement changed its name from Porthhilly in 1313 when it merged with Lamoreck, adopting the names of two saints: Meva and Issey
The village maintains its annual Feast Week celebration in June, featuring traditional Cornish music, dancing, carnival activities, and firework displays
Visitors can explore the working harbor where fishing boats bring fresh catches daily, alongside recreational vessels docked in the inner basin
The parish church contains a Norman-era font and maintains a recorded list of vicars dating back to its establishment in 1259
