proper noun
  1. A civil parish and hamlet in north Cornwall, England, the northernmost civil parish in Cornwall (OS grid ref SS2015).

    Atlantic gales constantly buffet Morwenstow, whose seven hamlets together constitute Cornwall's most northerly parish. The village is dotted with trees moulded into weird shapes by the wind, and above the trees rise the vicarage chimneystacks resembling miniature church towers.
