St Mewan (Cornish: Sen Mewen) is a village and civil parish in the southern part of Cornwall, England. The village is approximately one mile (1.6 km) west of St. Austell. It is a small settlement, comprising the parish church, rectory, a school and nearby farms. St Mewan parish includes the villages of Sticker, Trelowth, Trewoon, and most of Polgooth.

This map blows up to show all the parishes and many of the small villages and hamlets. The following websites have pages explaining their provisions in WeRelate's Repository Section.
