Gunwalloe Church Cove in Cornwall on A Perfect Day - Poldark TV Series Location

Gunwalloe Church Cove in Cornwall on A Perfect Day - Recently used as a location in the Poldark TV series Video Produced by Paul Dinning GUNWALLOE IN HISTORY Gunwalloe parish church dates from the 15th century but a Norman font remains demonstrating that there was a church on the site prior to the current one. The church is tucked into the cliffside. Its tower is believed to be older than the main building, possibly dating from the 1200s. Close to the church is the site of what was a tremendously important manor at the time of the Domesday Book in 1086. Winnianton Manor gave its name to the whole hundred of Kerrier. The Manor of Winnianton was held by King William I. Today, for comparison, this area roughly equates to the whole area covered by Kerrier District Council. Gunwalloe was formerly owned by the Penrose family of the Helston area and the village formed part of their extensive estate. Gunwalloe is well associated with tales of smuggling and shipwrecks including in 1526 the St Anthony carrying gold and silver belonging to the King of Portugal and in 1779 the wreck of the Dutch vessel Slando Welvern carrying wine. This coastline is littered with wrecked ships many of which date from the 1700s and some of which were laden with treasures.
