St Eval Church
The oldest parts of St Eval Church date back to the Norman period and other parts were added in the 13th, 14th, 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The final piece added in 1989 was the stained glass commemorating the RAF station. Much of the surrounding land was acquired in 1938 to build an RAF Coastal Command Station named RAF St Eval.
Many buildings were demolished, leaving only the church, vicarage and a nearby farm. The church tower was used as an observation post and navigation mark. The churchyard contains the graves of 23 Commonwealth air force personnel of WWII. Services are held every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month and a flower festival is held annually in June.
St Eval Church offers a warm welcome to all to visit…
