The parish church of St Church of St Morwenna and St John the Baptist, Morwenstow is an imposing build and is located west of the village a couple of hunderd meters from the South West Coast Path and the cliffs. The churchyad contains the remains of a number of sailors shipwrecked nearby. There is parking near the church. Ringing is from the ground floor.

I visited for the first time on Thursday 26th May 2016 while on holiday and walking the South West Coast Path. I joined the weekly practice and had an enjoyable evening ringing. As is quite commom in Cornwall the ringing was mostly Rounds & Call Changes with a couple of times plain hunting. I was made very welcome and kept busy such that over the evening I rang all six bells.
The Bells
The tower has a ring of 6 bells with a tenor weighing 8cwt in C. Dove's Guide includes details of the bells at St John and more information is provided by the Truro Diocesan Guild of Ringers.
