Volunteers Needed To Rake Up The Churchyard

Residents of Perranuthnoe

It's your churchyard.

The church yard has now had its annual cut.

Volunteers are invited to come at your leisure, any time soon, to rake up the cut grass . Half an hour of your time may be all that is needed to do a small share.

If you could rake up a section and leave it in a small heap by a path, it will be taken to the main heap at a later date. This makes it obvious to others which bit you have done.

It should be a sunny weekend so the perfect opportunity to help.  Or come later in the week if it's not finished. So please come and do your bit for the Community. 

Thank you in advance

Up And Coming Events

Does Anybody Know

I am very curious about the church in Perranuthnoe and can't find exactly who to ask so here I am.  When I visited the church, I noticed the small door cut into the main entry door.  I remember someone saying or maybe reading that the door was for farmers to bring their dogs in, sheep dogs?, and would tie them up during services. 
I'd love to know:
1.  If that is true
2.  When that door dates from.  When was that little inset door installed?

I thank you so much for reading through this and for any help or direction you might be able to give me.
