What a beautiful, warm sunny day today was. Perfect weather for our second ‘Churches Count on Nature’ event when we went out to the Churchyard and the Lower Churchyard and used good old fashioned books and modern day iNaturalist and Merlin Apps to identify the wild plants species and birds there.

Thanks to all who joined us. We will now upload the results and will feed back the findings here. 🔜

We would like to send our thanks to our Mayor, Cllr Robert Chadder for his generous donation of £100 from the Mayor’s Allowance towards grass cutting at the Higher Churchyard, Bosavern, St Just.

Sadly there are no dedicated resources at present for grass cutting at St Just’s largest graveyard so the Mayor’s contribution and that of other individuals will help at least in part to get the strimmers going.

If you would like to help by making a donation towards grass cutting please see the link to our Churchyards JustGiving page below.

Many thanks. 🙏 👏👏👏

We are seeking donations to support regular grass cutting and maintenance of the churchyards in particular the Higher Churchyard at Bosavern, St Just. Unfortunately, there are no budgets to cover this important and sensitive work.

Dear All,

Great news today as local firm Chris Sedgeman Scaffolding Limited have set up the scaffold around part of the Church Tower so that our other local firm Cornish granite supplies can carry out much needed repointing of a part of the tower facing east. In recent years the Church has suffered from water ingress where the Tower and Nave meet and it is hoped that the repointing immediately above this will help stop water getting in. Fingers crossed as we hope at some point to have a kitchenette at ground level in the Tower.

Let’s hope Cornish Granite Supplies have a spell of dry and quiet weather to get this vital work completed.

My best Andrew
