Lanlivery, is situated above a tributary of the Fowey River, the Lanlivery parish church is dedicated to St Brevita and has a tower that is 100 feet high. The Churchyard is relatively small, with approximately 222 memorials. Much of the present building dates from the 12th century.
Lanlivery is on The Saints’ Way, a route across Cornwall linking Padstow and Fowey. It was used in the Dark Ages by Celtic holy men travelling between Ireland, Wales and France and is marked by a series of crosses, churches, chapels and holy wells dedicated to those early saints. The route was probably in use by merchants long before that. There are also pagan shrines, menhirs and tumuli along the route, dating from at least three thousand years ago.
Date the Church was built, dedicated or cornerstone laid: 01/01/1300
