'At Zennor one sees infinite Atlantic, all peacock-mingled colours, and the gorse itself is sunshine...' wrote D.H Lawrence.This little village earnt its place in local folklore with tales of mermaids seducing local lads to the watery depths. Today a carving of the Mermaid of Zennor can be seen in the church and a bronze dial bearing the figure of a mermaid sits on the south side of the church tower.
