This Benefice is part of the Stratton Deanery, in the Diocese of Truro and is the northernmost cluster of churches in the Deanery and indeed in the Diocese. After us, it's across the Tamar into Devon and Exeter Diocese. The parishes include some of the most dramatic coastal scenery and landscapes in Cornwall.
We at the North Kernow Benefice of Churches are committed to safeguarding all who worship in any of our churches and all who visit the churches. We recognise that everyone has different levels of vulnerability and that each of us may be regarded as vulnerable at some time in our lives, but there are particular groups of people who need to be cared for. These include children and at-risk adults.
Who to contact with any safeguarding concerns about the safety and well-being of children, young peope and adults:
Priest in charge: Rev Teresa Folland 01288 352599
