Mawgan is a village in Cornwall between Helston and Mullion. The original village was built around a small round green with a stone cross, near to the church, and was named for its patron saint, Saint Mauganus. The stone cross is from medieval times, but you cannot read the words on it any longer. Mauganus was a Welsh saint.

Near the village is the Trelowarren Estate, home of the Vivian family since 1427. On the estate is the “Halliggye Fogou”, a stone structure from the Iron Age. It is the biggest “fogou”in Cornwall. A “fogou” is an underground dry-stone structure.

• An Rosweyth is a community organisation which exists to promote the use of the Cornish language. Member groups organise events, promote the language and how to learn it, produce publications, create opportunities for using the language and generally provide help and advice. They aim to make the language accessible to all and work in partnership with each other and with organisations across Cornwall to increase use of Cornish in community life. There are classes across Cornwall, as well as taster sessions throughout the year. For further information, visit www.speakcornish.com
