We warmly welcome all OCS members to our new event series for the Springtime, inviting you to beat the January blues...
This event series is an initiative by Lore & Piece, in collaboration with the Federation of Old Cornwall Societies!
A varied programme exploring the churches of Cornwall, as well as giving opportunity for socialising.
Each series will focus on a different group of churches - united by a particular aspect(s).
For 2026, the primary focus will be Medieval wall paintings: the paintings, the people, the politics...
**********
The slightly longer second event for the 2026 series will be held on Thursday 26th February.
Meet us at St Morwenna church, Morwenstow, at 11am, for a guided tour, including a short talk on its wall paintings.
We will leave Morwenstow church at around 11:45/12midday, and head over to Poughill church.
We will be at Poughill church from a.12:30pm - 2pm, and this will include the lunch break.
Our last stop will be Launcells church, from 2:30pm-a.4pm.

Attendees do not have to attend all locations at each event (i.e. you are welcome to visit only one church if wanted).
Your lunch break is yours to spend however you want, but a packed lunch is advised, esp. for more rural locations.
