Discover Maxworthy

Specific points of interest include St Paternus Parish Church, historical records and a building project, as well as North Cornwall Shooting Ground at Clay Lodge Farm. These topics appeal to different travel interests: church architecture and contemplation, local history, or a sporting focus. When choosing, it makes sense to distinguish these interests from the specific services offered by a hotel and assess both based on the details of the listing.

Accommodation and location

One specific accommodation option is The Old Parlour: it is located on a working farm in a peaceful rural setting near the beaches and leisure activities of North Cornwall. The combination of a farm setting and rural character gives the stay a clear focus; the beaches and leisure activities extend its appeal to North Cornwall. When comparing hotels, also look at the specific services listed for each option and what matters for your trip.

St Paternus: church and interior

St Paternus Parish Church has Norman origins and is used for prayer and contemplation. The parish church invites visitors to explore its historic interior. Check opening arrangements before travelling if you plan to visit. Its origins provide an architectural perspective, while its religious use offers another way of seeing the same place. This makes St Paternus a specific destination for travellers interested in sacred architecture or religious sites.

Religious and building history

Salem 72 in Maxworthy is associated with the Bible Christian denomination and the Launceston registration district. The denomination identifies its religious context; the district provides an administrative classification. Another perspective on local history comes from a notice in March 1879: tenders were invited for the construction of a chapel, a schoolroom and stables at Maxworthy Cross. Thus, a denominational affiliation and a specific building project sit side by side. The chapel, schoolroom and stables served different purposes; the schoolroom in particular broadens the picture beyond a purely religious building.

Sport and dates

North Cornwall Shooting Ground is located at Clay Lodge Farm in Maxworthy. Registered ABT and DTL competitions were listed for 18 April, 2 May and 16 May 2026. These dates have passed, so they do not indicate an event on your future travel dates. If competitions are important to your plans, check the current schedule shortly before travelling. The three listed dates were each two weeks apart; together, they covered a four-week period in spring 2026.
