This is the location of the Church built by Isolde's father, the local king. King Mark of Cornwall sent his knight Tristan to bring her to England so he could marry her. Tristan and Isolde fell in love. This ancient tale of romance features heavily in the mature personalities of James Joyce and Nora Barnacle eloping and its retelling in Finnegan's Wake.
