St Just in Roseland is a parish on the Roseland peninsula in South Cornwall just east of Falmouth. The parish church must be one of the prettiest in all of England. The current church building was consecrated by the bishop of Exeter in 1216.
And if the church itself is one of the prettiest, the churchyard is without doubt the most beautiful in all of England! Spread out over a large area overlooking the tidal creek with winding paths bordered by bamboo and palm trees and ancient gravestones.
Our family stayed in St Mawes (which is in the parish of St Just) over Jennifer’s birthday in August, and one morning Eric and I took a walk from St Mawes to St Just along Carrick Roads (the large bay between Falmouth and St Mawes that is the mouth of River Fal). The images are from the church yard at St Just’s Church, and I have included a couple of photos from St Mawes as well.
