Marhamchurch lies on the disused canal just
two miles south-east of Bude.
It was founded as a monastic settlement by St. Morwenna
and every year, on the Monday after 12th August, the ancient Marhamchurch
Revel is held to celebrate the Saint's good work. |
A Queen of the Revel is elected
from among the village schoolgirls and crowned by Father Time on the
spot in front of the church where St. Morwenna's cells once stood.
A procession, led by the local band
and the newly crowned Queen riding on horseback passes through the village
to the Revel Ground. |
