About St Uny's Church Lelant

The ancient church of St Uny at Lelant occupies a spectacular position above the Hayle estuary on what was once the main western approach to Cornwall by sea. The churchyard's sand-blown setting, overlooking the estuary and Godrevy lighthouse, is among the most atmospheric in Cornwall. The church contains Norman elements and medieval bench ends of considerable quality.
