A unique opportunity to purchase a piece of Cornish heritage.

We are led to believe that in 500AD St Nectan built a small sanctuary on what was an ancient sacred site beside a river, just above a beautiful waterfall. This is the only one in the world like it due to the formation that nature and time has provided. It is to be found in a beautiful valley near the Cornish coastline. St Nectan lived here in total seclusion until he passed away. It is said that his sisters came and took possession of the Chapel and following the wishes of the Hermit placed his remains in an oak chest with sacramental vessels and having diverted the course of the river buried him at the base of the waterfalls. Having done so the river was returned to its normal course and flows over the Saints grave. In due time the sisters also passed away and were buried together by the local inhabitants a short distance from the waterfall under a large flat stone.
