St Senara's Church, Zennor, Medieval church in Zennor, England.

St Senara's Church features Norman construction with a 15th-century north aisle, set within an oval churchyard following ancient Celtic boundaries.

The current church structure dates from 1150, replacing an earlier religious cell established by Saint Senara during the 6th century.

The famous Mermaid Chair inside the church displays a carved bench end from 1400-1500 depicting a mermaid holding a mirror and comb.

The church includes six bells tuned to G, with four produced by Gillett & Johnston in 1926 joining two existing medieval bells.

A plaque near the choir window commemorates John Davey, recorded as the final person with complete knowledge of the Cornish language.
