CORNWALL ONLINE PARISH CLERKS - helping bring the past alive


THE PARISH OF

ST EVAL

St Eval Church stands on a high Plateau 300 feet above sea level. It is surrounded by the remains of the Coastal Command Airfield of RAF St Eval, which was built in World War II. The Church holds the Book of Remembrance for those who served at RAF St Eval.

There was a Wesleyan Methodist chapel at Tregona, and a Bible Christian chapel at Treburthick. St Eval is bounded by St Merryn, St Ervan and St Mawgan on three sides and by the sea on the fourth. The villages are Churchtown, Treburrick (formerly Treburthick) and Downhill. This is, and has always been, a small farming parish.
 

 

The Online Parish Clerk for St Eval is Susan Old, who may be reached via Email.

A Message from the OPC:

I have been an OPC since the scheme began and have transcribed parish registers, and census returns - see below.
 
I keep my records in a unique form all stored in Family Treemaker 2005 and thus joined to all possible relations as far as they are known to me at this point in time. This record is not confined to my OPC parishes, which include St Ervan, St Merryn, St Mawgan and St Columb Major, but also covers other Parishes which may, or may not, have their own OPCs.
