St Mawnan and St Stephen's Church, Mawnan, Grade II* listed church in Mawnan, England
The medieval stone church stands on a headland where the Helford River meets the sea, featuring a traditional tower from the 14th century.
The structure dates from the 13th century and underwent major restoration between 1879 and 1880 under architect James Piers St Aubyn at a cost of £1,500.
The church honors two saints: Mawnan, a 6th-century Breton monk who settled in the area around 520 AD, and Stephen, following regional dedication customs.
The building remains open for visitors and private prayer from 9am to 5pm daily, with parking available for a £2 donation or £4 for all-day access.
The church's elevated position above the Helford River mouth functions as a navigation reference point for vessels entering the waterway.
