St Eval Church, Nr Newquay, Cornwall

            St Eval parish is renowned in Cornwall for its association with the RAF. 

The parish church of St Eval dates from the 13th century.

The church stands in the middle of an airfield built in 1939 for monitoring U-boat traffic. RAF St Eval would have had up to 2000 personnel during the period of the Second World War. 

 The beautiful stained glass window was presented by the RAF as part of their refurbishment of the Lady Chapel in 1989. This was to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the opening of RAF St Eval.
