History

There is evidence of Bronze Age habitation in Towednack based on the gold hoard recovered in a sunken lane on December 1931. The lane, known as Badger’s Lane by the locals, leads from Lady Downs to Amalveor. A collection of gold objects, a number of them jewelry, were found concealed in an ancient stone hedge. The hoard collected from Towednack can be viewed at the British Museum, but there are replicas at the Penlle House Museum in Penzance.

Attractions

Towednack Church was built in the 13th century but has been altered over the centuries. It is dedicated to St Tewennocus, who is most probably St Winwalo as the Old Cornish te-Winnoc translates to “thy St Winnoc [Winwalo].”

Getting Out

St Ives and Penzance aren’t that far away from Towednack and serve as worthwhile side trips. Of the two, the seaside town and port of St Ives is the closest at about two miles. It is a popular tourist destination during the summer thanks to its oceanic climate. There are four beaches in town: Porthmeor, popular for surfing; Porthgwidden, which features a small, sandy cover; Harbour, which is located by the port; and Porthminster, which is comprised of nearly half a mile of sand. The town is also the setting of the arts festival St Ives September Festival.

Penzance, a town, civil parish, and port, is located about six miles from Towedneck. It is the most westerly of the major towns in Cornwall. A number of tourist attractions can be found in town including the Greek Revival style Market House and Old Town Hall. Walking along Chapel Streets allows visitors to see the Egyptian House, the Union Hotel, and Branwell House (home of the mother and aunt of the Bronte sisters).

Also not far from Towednack is St Michael’s Mount. A drive to Marazion gets visitors closer to the famous island that features a castle.
