St Kew

St Kew sits quietly in Cornwall, England, its name belonging not only to the village itself but to the wider civil parish. That parish embraces the church town of St Kew and the neighbouring settlement of St Kew Highway, also known by its Cornish name, Fordhveur. Together they form a small, closely linked community rooted in place and name. Whether approached as a single village or as a parish made up of distinct locales, St Kew offers a straightforward example of how Cornish places carry layers of identity — from the church town at its heart to the nearby Highway that shares its heritage and name. This short portrait invites a gentle curiosity about the lanes and local life that tie these places together, all under the familiar banner of St Kew.
