Dist:0.5km<br/>This altar is in the South Aisle Chapel. It was the main altar stone up to about 1550 in the reign of Edward VI when the Church of England was becoming more Protestant and an act required that all altar stones should be removed. This one became a footbridge over a stream. It was found and moved back to the churchyard as a seat in the 1800s, and installed in the south aisle chapel in 1972. The nails that form the cross on the base of the altar are 15th century, and were saved from roof restoration work in 1970.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The church tower built in 1520 is the second tallest in Cornwall at 85 feet - according to the useful pack of cards "Church Trails in Cornwall" about churches in the Boscastle area, which I bought in the church.

Dist:1.2km west<br/>There was little traffic in the lanes around here most of the day - but from 3 pm onwards there were buses, minibuses and taxis rushing around taking children home from school.

Dist:1.3km southeast<br/>The lane to the right appears as a "yellow road" but now to have right-of-way by foot only. The lane continues, behind the photographer, to Lower Poulza Post where there is a Camping Club sign. On checking the CCGB handbook, this turns out to be a "naturist only" site.
