The folk story of this displayed in Zennor Church is different. The mermaid used to sit on the rock in Pendour Cove every Sunday so she could listen to the churchwarden's son, Matthew Trewhella's beautiful singing voice drifting from the church. One day, she struck the courage to venture into the church and they fell in love. They were last seen swimming in the cove and were never seen again. The chair is 400yrs old and said to be carved in Matthew's memory.
