St Keyne (Cornish: Sen Keyn) is a village in the civil parishofSt Keyne and Trewidland, in east Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The parish lies between the parishes of Liskeard and Duloe.[1] The parish population at the 2011 census was 492.[2]

The village is served by a railway station known as St Keyne Wishing Well Halt.

Notable buildings

[edit]

The church is dedicated to Saint Keyne, said to be one of the daughters of the legendary Welsh King Brychan. The church is of little architectural interest. The Perpendicular north aisle has probably been added to a church originally cruciform in plan (its windows however are Decorated, no doubt reused). The west tower is of three storeys and without buttresses.[3]

St Keyne's Well

St Keyne's well is a holy well dedicated to Saint Keyne, located about 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) southeast of the village. A small housing was built over the well in the 16th century, this was rebuilt in the 1930s.[4][better source needed] The ballad The Well of St Keyne was written by the poet Robert Southey (1774–1843).[5]InVictorian times St Keyne's well had the reputation of conferring supremacy to the marriage partner who first tasted it. ("The quality, that man and wife / Whose chance, or choice, attaines / First of this sacred stream to drinke / Thereby the mastery gains.")[6]

Lametton Mill, designed as a Grade II listed building in 1985, dates from the 17th century. The property sold in March 2018 for £235,000. In 2022 it was the subject of a restoration featured in Channel 4's Grand Designs.[7][8]

Civil parish

[edit]

In 2020 Cornwall Council announced that from 1 April 2021 the part of Dobwalls and Trewidland parish surrounding the village of Trewidland would be moved to the parish of St Keyne, to form the new parish of St Keyne and Trewidland, increasing the area of the parish including St Keyne by more than a factor of three.[9]
