The village is served by a railway station known as St Keyne Wishing Well Halt. Notable buildingsIn Victorian times the holy well in St Keyne had the reputation of conferring supremacy to the marriage partner who first tasted it. ("The quality, that man and wife / Whose chance, or choice, attaines / First of this sacred stream to drinke / Thereby the mastery gains.") There was also a ballad called ″The Well of St Keyne″.[3] The church is dedicated to Saint Keyne, said to be one of the daughters of the legendary Welsh King Brychan. The church is of little architectural interest. The Perpendicular north aisle has probably been added to a church originally cruciform in plan (its windows however are Decorated, no doubt reused). The west tower is of three storeys and without buttresses.[4] References1. ^Ordnance Survey One-inch Map of Great Britain; Bodmin and Launceston, sheet 186. 1961 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/Cornwall/StKeyne/index.html#Population|title=parish population census 2011|accessdate= 9 February 2015}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Local News|work=The Cornishman|issue=86|date=4 March 1880|page=5}} 4. ^Pevsner, N.
