Hi

can anyone help by telling us where church town is? We have relatives in Churchtown St columb minor but we cant seem to find it on a map. We plan to visit next weekend.
looking on the 1881 census it seems to be after the Farmers Arms pub which is next to the church but we thought that was St Columb minor

There are many places by the name of Church Town in Cornwall.  It is used to mean the part of the parish - town or village - where the church is located.  So go to St Columb Minor, just outside Newquay, and it is around the church.
