This church was one of the first to be discovered in his childhood days by Sir John Betjeman whilst out riding his bicycle. Blisland Church is unusual in that it is on the edge of a village green, the only village in Cornwall to boast one.

A sad but fascinating photograph that can be seen in graveyards all over the world.

I don't know if this is a popular pastime on A Sunday morning in Blisland, but there were a lot about the day that I was there.

St Pratt's or St Protus' Cross, the old head and shaft of a wayside cross. Set on the east side of the road southeast of the village, where a public footpath goes off. Blisland parish.

By St Pratt’s Cross, SE of Blisland village, on the lane leading up to the village. Five steps up on the west side, stone slab at the top, two steps on the east side. Public footpath 503/17/1 (Silver) from Waterloo to St Pratts’ Cross. In conjunction with the stile at SX10658 72971 this is used as a short cut from Blisland to Waterloo where Blisland School is located. In fact, this footpath isn’t used much by school children because there is another path, FP 503/18/1 Gold, which runs along the valley bottom below and parallel to FP No. 503/17/1.
