St Pol de Leon is an impressive church a short distance from Mousehole in the village of Paul. The church was founded in 490 but was mostly destroyed during the Spanish Raid on West Cornwall in 1595 where Mousehole, Paul, Penzance and Newlyn were attacked by Spanish soldiers. By the year 1600 the church had been completely rebuilt. Unfortunately it was not possible to go inside but we were still able to view it from outside and it turned out to be an ideal photo opportunity.
