Sometimes I have to research
places I am not familiar with. I have never been to Morvah. That is a little
churchtown near Penzance. The church tower is mediaeval, but the body of the
church was rebuilt later. The first church was built in 1400, but perhaps the site
was already holy. The place is very old. Go to the British Museum in London and
you can see the Morvah Gold Hoard. This hoard is six gold bracelets from the Bronze
Age. They are made from Irish gold, and the style is Irish, with ends like
trumpets. The church is near the coast. Perhaps a saint came from over the sea.
The church is dedicated to St Bridget of Sweden, but perhaps St Brigid of
Ireland came first. Or perhaps there were Celtic worshippers of the goddess
Brig. Who knows? Chun Quoit is nearby as well.
