St. Materiana church just after sunset by

This ancient church on the cliffs near Tintagel, North Cornwall, is dedicated to St. Materiana (Madryn), a 5th century Welsh princess. There has been a church on this site for 1400 years – this one dates from just after the Norman conquest in the 11th century, though the tower, a famous navigational landmark for sailors, was added later on. Taken on the 11th September, 2009. Casio QV-3000EX; 1/60 sec, f2, ISO 250, 20.74 mm lens. Other photos of this church: Iota and St Materiana
