Few churches in our survey can rival St Gennys for its setting. Tucked under the lee of the cliff both the church and the sloping graveyard have superb views over Bude Bay and up the Bristol Channel.

 

 

Grace Stacey seems to have died in childbirth - "She gave life but gave it at the expence (sic) of her own".

 

It looks as if the mason got the year that William Cory died wrong and so had to make a correction.
