Killkhampton stands 600 feet above the sea, three miles south of Morwenstow.
It is a large attractive village in the heart of "Grenville country" -
Sir Richard (cousin of Walter Raleigh and friend of Sir Francis Drake)
was born here in the 16th Century and Sir Bevil in the 17th Century. Nearby
Stowe Barton was the house of the Grenville family. It was built on
the site of Stowe House, once one of the most magnificent homes in England
and described by Charles Kingsley in "Westward Ho!". |

The church, standing in the village street by a quaint courtyard of cottages,
speaks eloquently of heraldry, and it is obvious that rich men have lavished
their wealth upon it. It contains some of the finest work in Cornwall,
from its Norman south doorway to its large collection of bench-ends and
fine window tracery of the 15th and 16th centuries. |
