St Buryan from Chapel Carn Brea
The views from the top of Chapel Carn Brea are excellent. This is looking south-eastwards to the village of St Buryan with its eponymous church. The conspicuous tower is 92' high and dates from 1501, though there has been a church on this site since at least 930AD in the reign of Æthelstan.
Even older, in a field below the tower (as viewed) is a prominent standing stone called Trevorgans Menhir at SW 40490 26132 - see Image] and Image] for much closer views of this neolithic relic.

Church of St Buryan
"North wall of chancel is C12, otherwise C15 and possibly early C16 ... Largely unaltered late medieval exterior, with most of the original openings ... Tall C15 4-storey embattled tower has buttresses set back from the corners; strings dividing the stages" http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=69682
In the foreground is the WW1 war memorial, a "large ogee-headed arched niche containing a pierced wheel-headed cross" http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=69697&mode=adv .
The circular churchyard probably indicates pre-Christian origin, in this case "the enclosure wall of a late Iron Age enclosed settlement".
