St Mewan is a small civil parish in Cornwall, a few miles south‑west of St Austell and within easy reach of the south Cornwall coast. The landscape mixes rolling farmland, small woodlands and the remnants of the china clay and mining activity that shaped the area, while villages such as Sticker and Polgooth give it a distinctly rural character close to larger visitor hubs.
The medieval parish church is dedicated to the Breton saint Mewan and the community retains a quietly village‑centred social life with pubs, a hall and local clubs; economically people work in agriculture, local services and tourism or commute to nearby towns. Its location makes it handy for visits to the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and coastal spots like Mevagissey, so tourism now sits alongside traditional rural industries.
