Zelah

Zelah is a village in Cornwall, set approximately five miles north of Truro in England’s South West.

The village’s scale and standing within St Allen invite reflection on the county’s network of villages and the varied ways people live and identify with place across the South West. Zelah may be small in numbers, but its role within the parish underlines a quietly important position in this corner of Cornwall.
