The St Senara’s Church in Zennor, Cornwall, UK is a partly Norman church that has been standing in its current location overlooking the sea since the 6th century AD. It was founded by Saint Senara upon her return from Ireland with her son, who was also a bishop, and together they established the village of Zennor.
In 2015, a photographer visited the church and started The Churches Project, which focused on capturing the gritty exterior and colorful interior of churches and churchyards in Cornwall. The project is now sponsored by the UK’s leading filter specialists, www.inlinefilters.co.uk, and the photographer’s portfolio can be viewed on www.piktour.uk.
The Cornish Historic Churches Trust is an organization that helps preserve the historical churches of Cornwall for future generations. If you would like to support their work, please visit their website. The photographer, who takes photographs as a hobby, is happy to share them with anyone who enjoys them and requests only to be credited or to receive a donation to www.sightsavers.org if the images are used for financial gain.
Currently, the photographer’s images are reduced to around 512k before being uploaded to Flickr and Piktour, where they are in the public domain. However, a Fine Art Prints and Downloads section will be added to Piktour in the future, where the images will be available for purchase. If you cannot find the image you are interested in, you can make a request through the contact page on Piktour’s website.
