The Mermaid of Zennor is a beguiling legend from Cornwall, where a mysterious sea maiden is said to have enchanted the villagers with her hauntingly beautiful singing. According to local folklore, she would attend church services unseen, her ethereal voice captivating the townsfolk, especially a young man named Matthew Trewhella. So mesmerised by her allure, Matthew vanished without a trace one day, believed to have been lured beneath the waves to live with the mermaid forever. The tale endures in the old pew known as the “Mermaid Chair,” carved with a figure of the mythical creature, quietly guarding the secrets of the sea and love that transcends land and water.
