Pendeen

Pendeen is a village on the Penwith peninsular, situated three miles north east of St Just. Its name is derived from the Cornish, Penn Din meaning “headland fort”. The Church of St John, pictured below, is constructed from granite quarried from Carne Eanes (The Carn), the hill overlooking Pendeen and built by the villagers in 1851.

The church is the site of several Grenfell Baptisms (1850-1899), Marriages (1855-1907), Burials (1856-1899).

Further information can be found on the Pendeen page of the Cornwall Online Parish Clerks website, the Genuki page dedicated to Paul and the St Just and Pendeen Old Cornwall Society.
