THE CHURCH
Balwest (Cornish: Bal West, meaning Western mine) is a hamlet in the civil parish of Germoe.
The hamlet is on the southern edge of a former mining area, part of a geological formation known as the Tregonning-Godolphin Granite (one of five granite batholiths in Cornwall) which was formerly an important source of tin and copper ore.
The only Methodist Chapel in Germoe Parish is the Grade II listed chapel at Balwest, which was built in 1829 to accommodate the growing population of miners and their families. It replaced the smaller 1798 chapel thought to have been sited close by. One of the original trustees was Francis Carter, a brother to the notorious smuggler and Privateer John Carter, the self-styled King of Prussia.
