The small building is set in the grounds of the original Kea Church location at the head of a creek on the Carrick Roads where it is said that Saint Kea, a late 5th century British saint, arrived on a boat and built a monastery. A church was built here in the 15th century of which only the tower remains alongside Old Kea Church which still holds services to date.
Over the last 3 years a team of volunteers from the congregation of Kea have developed the garden into a space for people to come and enjoy the peace and tranquility the little church and garden have to offer. It has recently been awarded a certificate for completing the Kernow Green Church Award. You will find places to sit both inside and out to enjoy this very special place.
