Rescorla Village and Chapel
Rescorla is at the heart of the Clay Country, Cornwall’s china clay mining district. At the centre of the village is its Primitive Methodist Chapel; once the focus of village life, it gradually fell into disuse. The chapel now stands at the threshold of an exciting and ambitious project that aims to bring it once again to the fore of village life and also wider significance as a Centre for Cornish culture.You can read more about the village on our Wikipedia entry
Friends of Rescorla
The Friends of Rescorla are a group of like minded people who are working to save the Chapel and re-establish it as a hub of village life once more. After purchasing the chapel from the Methodist Circuit, with support from Restormel Borough Council, the Friends of Rescorla (FOR) hope to raise sufficient funds to fully restore the Chapel. In time they hope the building will be able to serve as a home for the Rescorla Festival, a learning centre drawing together resources from key educational establishments and a communal space providing facilities and a multitude of uses for residents and the wider community.Find out more about our campaign
