A church on a hill above a wooded valley

Set on a hillcrest above the lovely wooded Tamar valley, at the end of a long lane with only a farm nearby, this little church is unassuming, but most appealing.

It is mostly Medieval but the low tower was rebuilt in 1791 and there are delightful domestic Georgian sash windows on the north side.

It has a barrel roof, continuous over nave and chancel, a simple 14th century granite font and a fine group of slate headstones in the pretty churchyard.
