St.Dennis

St.Dennis, which was formerly named St.Denys after a martyr, is situated roughly mid way between the towns of Newquay on the north coast of Cornwall and St.Austell on the south coast. Carsella Farm on the edge of St.Dennis was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Karsalan and is described as a Manor. An important highly visible feature of the village is St.Denys Parish Church, which stands at the top of Carne Hill on the site of an Iron Age hill fort. The name Denys is thought to be a corruption of the word Dinas, which is Cornish meaning Hill Fort. There are toilet facilities in the village.
