Week St. Mary is a small rural village and civil parish in north Cornwall, England, sitting close to the border with Devon. It’s set among rolling farmland and hedged lanes, giving a quiet, agricultural feel with scattered farms, small pockets of woodland and long-established field patterns typical of the area.
The medieval parish church remains a focal point and the village name is believed to come from the Old English "wic", meaning a dairy farm or settlement. The local economy is largely agricultural with some holiday cottages and small-scale tourism; socially it’s a tight-knit community that sustains village-hall events, seasonal fêtes and the kind of neighbourly activity that characterises rural Cornish life.
