the latter. The

Grade II* listed. A number of churchyard features are also listed separately
- see
here. O.S. maps show a number of chapels, the site of another, and a Mission
Room. The current Methodist Church is on Fore
Street, and was seen by
Streetview in 2009. It has a date-stone for 1825, and was Wesleyan (source).
SX 0997 9075. The
church website says that it is the second on the site. I did wonder if the
adjacent building (up the hill) is the predecessor - seen
here, also in 2009, but it's
marked on maps as a school. A so far unidentified Chapel
stands or stood on Dunn Street, at SX 0988 9078.
Streetview saw it in 2009.
Whether this is the converted chapel or a building erected on its site, is
unclear. Another former Chapel stands on Mount
Pleasant. It has a date-stone for 1859 and was seen by
Streetview in 2021. The 25"
O.S. map of 1907 shows a Misn. Rm. (Mission
Room) at SX 0996 9068 on Fore Street. The best view on Streetview (2009) is

is the former Mission Room, or a later building on its site. O.S. maps mark,

close (200 meters) to each other, but perhaps it's an error on the part

alterations. Simon Davies, Greg Mishevski, and Janet Gimber have all confirmed
that Judy was right, and advised that the top stage of the tower is a 20th
century addition. Some links -

source dates it to 1857 as a Wesleyan Methodist Association Chapel, and
after the 1932 union, it was St. Mabyn Methodist Church. It seems to have been
active into the 1980's at least. The Streetview van hasn't been passed it, but I
think it's the building furthest from the camera in this

an abandoned quarry at the West of the village, the St. Newlyn East Pit was
already in existence at the time of a mining disaster nearby in 1846. After the
mining disaster, the pit was graded into tiers and dedicated to the memory of
those who died in the disaster. It was restored with the aid of lottery funds in
about 2003. More recently, the lease was taken over by the Parish Council and a
new Management Committee formed to manage and promote the use of the Pit. The
village cemetery is next door.".
