Geography

Mawla is situated approximately two miles from Mount Hawke in the parish of Redruth [3] and St Agnes Parish on the north coast of Cornwall. Once secluded, it is now visible from surrounding areas, owing to the loss of most of the trees from Dutch elm disease.[ citation needed ]

History

Mawla is a little hamlet, once known as 'Mawle'.[ citation needed ] By 1824 the main villages, aside from St Agnes, in the St Agnes Parish were Mithian, Stenclose (Stencoose), and Malow (Mawla). [4] In the past there were a carpenter's shop and more cottages, now demolished.[ citation needed ]

Economy

Some of the older cottages have now been converted to holiday lettings. Others are still occupied by farmers. Green Lane Farm and Mawla Farm operate as one dairy and vegetable organisation. Mawla Farmhouse still has an old well in its courtyard.[ citation needed ]

Religion

The Methodist church was built in 1908, the foundation stones laid by local inhabitants. It is an attractive one storey building with arched stained glass windows seating about 120 people.[ citation needed ]

The old Mawla chapel still exists. The old Sunday school building which was unsafe to use, was demolished about 1960, and rebuilt as a new Sunday school which has since been sold to a private owner by 2008.
