Log Text: A lot of rocks in one cathedral! Many carved rocks propped against various walls - some near the crypt and some directly across in one of the small enclaves. Wonderful carvings, a personal favourite is one of a sword handle & cross guard. Cathedral itself is stunning with gorgeous stained glass pieces & friendly staff.

St Wendronas submitted by KiwiBetsy on 15th Oct 2006. St Wendronas' Well sits beside a small stream at the bottom of a field beside the A394. Leave Helston on the A394 heading towards Trewennack.

With the farm buidings on your right, to your left is a field that slopes down to a steam. Head down to the stream and away from the road to the north eastern corner of the field. The well is just over the gate in the next field.

Log Text: Absolutely gorgeous stone with bright clear carvings. There's a informational card at the base of the stone for local insight into how it came to be in the church. The church itself is also absolutely stunning with two stone crosses in its gardens and old wall paintings within the church that survived whitewashing.

Ventongassick submitted by KiwiBetsy on 17th Oct 2006. Steps lead down into the well which sits below ground level. It appeared to have been fitted with a pump but had a deep pool of water.

Log Text: Very risky if care is not taken - cars whip by increidbly fast. Lovely well with steps going down, the water is audiable even running deeper than the well walls suggest. Take care when wet - leaves make it slippy :-)
