Quenchwell is a short distance north of Carnon Downs. This profile of Quenchwell (Chycowling) Bible Christian Chapel has been compiled by Jayne Spenceley. Unless stated, the photographs are courtesy of Roy Woolcock.
The Bible Christians built a new chapel a short distance from the former chapel, which became the Sunday School. See http://cornishstory.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=5603&action=edit&classic-editor
