Indian Queens Pit is a site of great historic significance and it is protected as a Scheduled Monument. The Pit was constructed as a preaching pit by local villagers in 1850, within a disused mining openwork that had been part of a larger tin mining concern known by various names such as Fatwork & Virtue, and Wheal Cornwall.
It was traditionally used by the local Methodist Chapels from Indian Queens and Fraddon, as well as a temperance society. Events included religious services, tea treats and Sunday School anniversaries.
The Pit continues to be a living monument at the very heart of its local community. It is looked after by the Indian Queens Pit charity (no. 280624), which also promotes numerous events at the site including fetes, concerts and plays.
