A ribbon cutting ceremony took place to celebrate the beginning of work to build more affordable homes in St Ewe for young families.

A few years ago, the diocese sold glebe land in the village to St Ewe Affordable Homes Limited (SEAHL) and has now sold the adjoining part too.

This means there will be four more social rent homes built for local people in need of housing.

Kate Cortez, Head of Operations and Governance at Diocese of Truro, said: “A key priority of the diocesan glebe strategy, approved in 2025, is to enable the use of glebe to provide homes, and land for homes, where local people need them.

“We are delighted that SEAHL will be able to do this using this land. It is a real community endeavour and the turn out for the ribbon cutting really shows this.”
