High atop the cliffs overlooking the village of Tintagel stands a historic treasure - not the castle for which this rocky Cornish headland is famed, but the 11th-century church of St Materiana. Separating the nave and chancel is the base section of a 15th-century screen. Beyond is the Bishop’s Chair from the late Tudor period, which was given in memory of a former sexton. There is also a reading chair, which is Victorian, but made from medieval carved wooden panels.
