Hi everyone, I hope this is the right place to ask.
Does anyone know if there's any way to view bmd records for Morwenstow (specifically 1700s and earlier) online?
I've only been able to find transcripts/typed documents, but would love to see the originals in case there's any additional info.
Thank you in advance!

Have you tried Cornwall-OPC-Database.org?
Baptisms 1558-1924
Marriages 1558-1903
Burials 1559-1905
Also, see: https://www.opc-cornwall.org/Par_new/l_m/morwenstow.php
(A contact is mentioned!)
P.S. Welcome to RootsChat! ;D

"KG" has directed you to the Cornwall OPC data base - a great resource. The transcripts carry the "extras". The manuscript transcripts of the original Morwenstow baptism and burial registers (yet to check out marriages) can be viewed on FamilySearch (FS). Are you registered with FS?
If a search for a name on FS produces a result, to view the original manuscript transcript of that result requires "browsing". The images are not indexed.
For example, this is the OPC transcript
https://www.cornwall-opc-database.org/search-database/more-info/?t=baptisms&id=1304883
This is the manuscript transcript of the original register. If you feel a "browse" of these might help, let me know and I'll' post how to navigate FS.
