St Petroc's Church is the largest and amongst the oldest parish churches in Cornwall. The present Church dates back to 1470, although earlier churches existed on the same site from 540AD when the Welsh missionary, St. Petroc, founded a settlement. There is a particularly impressive Norman font that has been placed and highlighted prominently at the entrance to the nave. Many other memorials and features adorn the church interior, making St. Petroc's Church a spiritual and historic gem for Cornwall. Dogs are welcome in the church but must be kept of their leads at all times.
