Description

The Church of Morwenstow once home to Robert Stephen Hawker.

Hawker was regarded as a deeply compassionate person giving Christian burials to shipwrecked seamen washed up on the shores of the parish. Prior to this, the bodies of shipwrecked sailors were often either buried on the beach where they were found or left to the sea.

The Harvest Festival that we know today was introduced in the small village of Morwenstow in 1843 by Hawker. :nod:
