Background

History

Built at a cost of £490 with designs by James Arthur Reeve of Norwich, the church was opened for worship on 23 July 1883. The stonemasons responsible for its construction were Gill and Cleave of Egloshayle, while the carpentry work was undertaken by Mr Williams of Egloshayle. The granite work was provided by Mr Evans from the firm of Doney and Evans. It reportedly has an ancient font of Saxon origin. This font came from Lanteglos-by-Camelford; it is similar to one at Morwenstow but has much decoration of a Celtic character. Nikolaus Pevsner dated it as c. 1100 or earlier. There is a fine pulpit, possibly of German workmanship. The church became a Grade II listed building on 4 November 1988.…
