Menadarva (Cornish: Merther Derwa, meaning grave of St Derwa) is a hamlet in the parish of Camborne, Cornwall, England, UK.[1][2] The Red River flows through the hamlet and on 9 March 1885 the machinery and materials of the Menadarva Lower Tin-Stream was put up for auction.[3]
The Norman font of the church of All Saints' Church, Tuckingmill came from the medieval chapel of St Derwa at Menadarva.[4][5]
