The
Mermaid of Zennor - 2014
Long
ago a mermaid used to visit St Senara's Church in
Zennor in Cornwall to hear the choir sing. Her
own voice was so sweet that she enticed Mathey
Trewella, the son of the churchwarden, to come away
with her.
Neither of them was ever seen on dry land again, and
the famed 'mermaid chair' in St Senara's Church is
the same bench on which the mermaid used to sit and
sing, opposite Mathey Trewella in the singing loft.
This sculpture was carved from a coarse grained limestone called Ancaster Limestone.
The Mermaid
of Zennor is 19" high, and the base
measures 9.5" x 6.25". It
weighs 22kg or 48.5lbs.
