Marhamchurch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marhamchurch is a village in North Cornwall, UK.

Marhamchurch lies two miles inland from Bude off the A39 'Atlantic Highway' to Wadebridge.

The Celtic Saint Marwenne around the end of the fifth century founded a hermitage and gave her name to the village. She was one of the twenty-four children of St Brychan, a Welsh saint and king, in the 4th century.
