(A) The Church and Churchyard

Memorial to HMS Ganges -This was erected by the boys of the Naval Training Ship of that name in 1872. The names of 51 boys are recorded here, with an average age of 16, they died of disease or accident, a sad reminder of the harshness of life under naval training in Victorian times. Established in 1865, HMS Ganges left Mylor in 1899, and following a refit was based at Harwich, then Southampton. Members of the Ganges association make an annual pilgrimage to St Mylor Church on Remembrance Day when wreaths are laid at the memorial.

St Mylor Holy Well -This spring of water was possibly the site of baptism for the earliest Christians here. Water from the well has also been used for baptism services in the church.

(B) Mylor Churchtown - The Marina
