The priest-in-charge of Mawnan Parish Church has stepped down due to 'personal reasons'.

The Revd Stewart Turner decided to stand down from his role for the Parish of Mawnan, but will remain Priest-in-Charge at Constantine.

He stepped down on Sunday, May 28, and made the announcement during a ceremony at the church.

He told Mawnan parishioners: “I would like to thank you for all the love and support that you have shown to both myself and Julie over the last few years and we will miss you all.”
