Background
History
The earliest parts of the church date to the pre-Norman period, 950AD. The church was remodelled in 14th, 15th & 16th centuries. It is built of rubble and has a slate roof. The church consists of a nave, a north aisle with five bays, a south porch, and a rare North Tower. For 800 years of its existence, this church was a chapel-of-ease of the Church of St Stephen, Saltash. In 1881, by order of the Privy Council, the chapel became a Parish Church in its own right. Therefore, what had once been known as St Nicholas' Chapel, became the Parish Church of St Nicholas and St Faith. On 17 January 1952, the church was designated a grade I listed building.
