      John Hicks in 1722 reported that the ruins of more than 40 houses were seen in his day, in the north-west part of St Ives, and that whole streets had been discovered under the sands… (Pics=Porthmeor sea-wall, https://www.flickr.com/photos/londonmatt/19715942466 … & Smeaton's 1766 proposed wall running A–B–C).

      The extent of the potential sand problems stemming from Porthmeor, St Ives, can be seen from this photo taken in 1952 of sand hills built up against the 18thC sea-wall being demolished by bulldozers (via https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/113504853091572054/ …)pic.twitter.com/b3XjxOZ6ux

      Worth noting that the chapel at Portminster beach, St Ives, probably didn't stand alone—also a medieval settlement of Porthminster, said to have been burnt by the French along with Marazion either in mid-15thC or possibly 1514 (pic=Mount's Bay, c. 1540: http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/onlineex/unvbrit/m/001cotaugi00001u00034000.html …)pic.twitter.com/I5XYEDHogd

      Porthminster is first mentioned in 1301; it occurs as Porthmenstre in a dispute over property in 1362–3 & 1375, and a Vivian Aunger, 'fyssher', is recorded as living in Porthmynster in 1433: http://www.caitlingreen.org/2018/02/porthminster-medieval-chapel.html#fn10 … (pic=postcard, 1905, http://www.cornwallrailwaysociety.org.uk/st-ives-branch.html …)pic.twitter.com/0Ji0NVkvZb

      One of the earliest photographs of St Ives harbour, taken in 1860, with the Tregenna Stream and the seine fishing boats visible on Porthminster Beach: http://www.stivesfishingheritage.com/resources/image-library/1860s/ …pic.twitter.com/fscrd17JLY

      The photo was taken between 2nd December 1867 and 19th January 1881. Would love a copy.

      Thanks for the info, much appreciated! (I took the date from the archive's website)

      Yes I see. I am trying to date the archives photos of the New Pier for them. Have you spoken to the guys at Smeaton's, Brian at the Museum & John Williams at shore shelter about the lost church? There is a terrific amount of oral history there which really should be recorded.

      Looks like you have a really interesting project on the New Pier, look forward to seeing the results! And good point — would be most interested to know if the chapel had ever made a reappearance after storms (sadly the original finds seem to have gone missing).

      Some of the families have stuff secreted away! One of the men who works for the harbour master has the original winder for the present church clock buried in his house somewhere. I think Brian Stevens at the museum might know of your church.

      Really? How intriguing — hopefully it will find its way to the museum at some point! Thank you for the tip, I shall definitely have to have a chat with him if I can then! :)
