Described as one of the prettiest in England, this church sits proudly on the waters edge amongst sub-tropical trees and shrubs.

The churchyard described as ‘the most beautiful in the world’ is just that. A palm filled tropical woodland with green moss and fern it winds down the hill of tiered graves of beautiful calligraphy and Celtic crosses. Wirth taking time to meander through. At the bottom is this small picturesque church steeped in history on the waters edge . So atmospheric and peaceful it was a truly magical setting that made you want to linger soaking in every bit . Truly memorable and a joy to see. Then head on up the slope for a slap up cream tea at Mrs T’s at the top. PERFECT afternoon!

The building which stands today is a mixture of Norman, mediaeval and nineteenth-century work. The fabric of the building has been in existance on this spot for many centuries, although some of the ornaments and embellishments may have been added to our church during the nineteenth century. The plan of the building is unusual being one of only four Cornish churches with a south tower. The nave is longer than the average and slopes up towards the sanctuary at the east end. This feature is found in the churches of northern France and may reflect the early involvement of the monks of Montacute.

On the night of 31st January/1st February 1914 the German sailing ship The Hera hit Gull Rock just off Nare Head. 19 Sailors lost their lives of which 15 were buried in the Churcyard. They were buried in a line head to toe, two deep in a grave edged with granite. At the head of the grave is a tombstone giving details of the tragedy and the names of the Sailors together with a moving inscription. It is reputed to be the longest marked grave in the country. A poignant sight.
