St Blazey

St Blazey is best known in England for its historic association with Cornwall’s china-clay industry. Set beside the River Par, the town developed near the clay workings and transport routes that shaped the St Austell area’s economy from the 18th century onward. Its compact streets lie a short distance inland from St Austell Bay on Cornwall’s south coast, while the wooded Luxulyan Valley and the wider former clay-mining landscape are close by. The parish church, dedicated to St Blaise, reflects the settlement’s long-established identity. Today, St Blazey provides useful context for the industrial heritage of this part of Cornwall.
