Mawgan-in-Meneage is situated in the Deanery and Hundred of Kerrier, and is so denominated to distinguish it from Mawgan-in-Pydar Hundred. It is bounded on the North by Wendron and the Helford estuary which separates it from Constantine, on the East by St Martin-in-Meneage, on the South by Cury and on the West by Gunwalloe. There are memorials in the church to the influential Vyvyan family. The Churchtown is the chief village of the parish.
