of Penzance; the water for these reservoirs comes from this dyke. Nowadays the main water supply for the area is Drift Reservoir. The Scout Hut, originally situated in Barn Lane, behind Rosparvah Gardens was the only building to be bombed during WW2. Following the war the Scout Hut was rebuilt in Bolitho Road, behind the British Legion, and named the Venning Hall. Following World War II Heamoor was identified by the then Penzance Borough Council as area of potential development for housing, during the 1970s and 1980s this was realised with the building of a number of large modern housing developments. Churches Until the mid-20th century, Heamoor had three centres of Christian worship: Wesley Rock Wesleyan Chapel; a Bible Christian Chapel (opened in 1866); and the Church of England Church of St Thomas. Wesley Rock Methodist Church is so called because of the frequent visits by John Wesley to the area where he is said to have preached from a rock in a field. The 'Rock' in question now forms the base of the pulpit in Wesley Rock Church itself. It was moved upon completion of the building that now forms the Church, being previously held in the older adjacent building. The Rock is believed to have originally come from the Rosehill area. On 24 August 1884 the chapel was reopened following an extensive restoration removing the gallery, benches, pulpit and the plaster on the walls. The floor is raised at the rear of the chapel, giving an uninterrupted view and the new seats are made of pitch pine and laid out in the amphitheatre style. St Thomas's Church was built in Heamoor in the late 19th century as a Chapel of ease to serve those living in the outskirts of Penzance. The Church is part of Madron parish and was dedicated in 1892: it was licensed for weddings in 1975. Unitil 1934 Heamoor was in the parish of Madron and Heamoor's religious communities still celebrate Madron feast. References Penzance Villages in Cornwall
