Menheniot Menheniot is in many respects a typical 'parish village' with a church at its centre.  It suffered great changes in the mid 19th century when for a short time lead was mined in the vicinity.  A number of new houses have been built in the latter half of the 20th century which has kept the village population high enough to support a pub and a shop.

Exposed for Cloud It is not uncommon to have grey cloudy days in Cornwall, or in England for that matter.  On such days the cloud cover and the details within it are a part of the landscape.  Unfortunately, the limitations of photography mean that if we are to show the landscape, the cloudscape is usually overexposed and becomes a field of white in the photograph.  Here I have done just the opposite, exposed the photograph for the cloudscape and let the landscape disappear into black.  This is a colour photograph, it has not been converted to black and white!
