  [S131] Meyn Marnvro - Ancient Stones (Reliability: 3). The Chapel was probably originally a small single-celled building that was either lost in the sands at an early date or incorporated into the structure of the present building, that probably dates from about the 9th/10thC. It was first mentioned by Leland in 1538 but in the course of time was lost to the encroaching sands. It was rediscovered in 1827 by Richard Hocking of Churchtown Farm, when he decided to dig a pond there. He uncovered the chapel (and also some skeletons), and then re-roofed it for use as a cowshed! http://www.meynmamvro.co.uk/archive/files/MeynMamvro56-WinterSpring2005.pdf [S9] OPC, (Cornwall Online Parish Clerks (OPC)), 19 May 1806 (Reliability: 3).
