St Eval
Truro
(NEWS ALERT) - 7 January 2021
During this period of lockdown our church services have been suspended for the time being. Please check for updates on our website: www.lannpydar.org.uk or social media.
Church Dedication: St Uvelus
You can be assured of a warm welcome at the peaceful church of St Eval. It stands almost alone with its 60ft tower visible for miles around, surrounded by the disused runways of RAF St Eval, an important Coastal Command airfield during the second world war.
Most of the hamlet of Churchtown was demolished to build the airfield. The church is normally open during daylight hours. If you tap in the post code PL27 7UG it should lead you to our large car park adjacent to the church.
We welcome you to our services - Evening Worship at 6.00pm on the 1st Sunday and Communion at 6.00pm on the 3rd Sunday of each month. The 5th Sunday is a Benefice Service held at one of the churches within Lann Pydar Benefice. Please see our detailed Services sheet for more information.
Our church is now open for private prayer on Tuesdays & Saturdays 10.00am - 3.00pm.
A Flower Festival is held annually, normally on the last weekend in June. Talented ladies from the local area create a magnificent display and you can enjoy a variety of wonderful home made refreshments.
The church was enlarged in the mid 16th century and there is the remains of a medieval screen and an elaborately carved part of the Rood Screen base. The pulpit has been restored and the date 1638, together with the name of the Minister and Churchwardens can be seen on the base stringers. The Font is very plain and is from Norman times, as is one remaining window in the North wall. There are 23 carved bench-ends dating from the mid 16th century and at the back are three original pews.
The church has strong links with the Royal Air Force and there are 21 war graves in the churchyard that are maintained by the War Graves Commission. The contribution of the RAF in helping to preserve this ancient place of worship forms a fascinating chapter in the story of a building which dates back to Norman times, when the church was first built on the site of a Celtic shrine.

Church Dedication: St Mawgan & St Nicholas
Dating from the 13th Century, our church is the jewel of the beautiful Cornish village of St.Mawgan, with its cricket ground, ancient inn, ford and convent.
You would be very welcome to join us for worship: Communion on the 1st Sunday and Morning Worship on the 3rd Sunday of each month starting at 11.00pm. A Benefice Service is held on teh 5th Sunday and is held at one of the four churches within Lann Pydar Benefice. Please see full details of all forthcoming services in our Benefice.

We also have a home group which meets every Monday afternoon for group discussion, study, worship, prayer and fellowship – please email for details if you would like to join us.
The church, endowed by the Arundells of Lanherne who lived here from the 13th to 18th centuries, dates from the 13th century. The 14th century tower is unusually placed at the south transept: the upper part was added by the Arundells in 1433 at a cost of 10 pounds. The belfry houses a ring of eight bells, the oldest of which was cast between 1378 and 1407.
Within the church are many beautiful items of interest, including the carved pulpit of 1553, 42 bench ends and a rood screen from the 15th century, many fine 16th century Arundell brasses, and an elaborate 15th century Pentewan stone font.
The peaceful sloping churchyard contains many gems - look for the Lantern Cross (ca.1420) and the stern of a rowing boat - a memorial to ten men who drifted ashore, frozen to death in 1846.

St Ervan
Truro
(NEWS ALERT) - 7 January 2021
During this period of lockdown our church services have been suspended for the time being. Please check for updates on our website: www.lannpydar.org.uk or social media. The church will remain open for private prayer on Sundays & Wednesdays from 11am – 4pm.
Church Dedication: St Ervan
The church is tucked away in the depths of the Cornish countryside in the centre of St.Ervan Churchtown with its Victorian Rectory and School-house and its older "Kiddlywink" (The Farmhouse) and Glebe Farm. If you have the benefit of a satnav our postcode is PL27 7TA, otherwise find the village of Rumford and ask for directions.
The lane from the church runs down to a mill known to date from 1276, with a christening well on the right, halfway down. The church was supported by the Arundells who lived at the manor of Trembleath as early as 1240 and the first mention of the church that survives is 1208.
You would be very welcome to join us for worship. The Church is open for private prayer on both Wednesday and Sunday from 11.00am - 4.00pm (except on a Wednesday when there is a midweek communion service at 3pm).
The present church was built in the 13th and 14th centuries and it has never been enlarged. The original tower, 50 feet high and built in the 14th/15th centuries had the upper part brought down by explosives in the 1880s, but it was not properly capped until 1956 and now stands 24 feet high. The chancel has a twist to the south. There are 10 slate memorials and 2 marble memorials on the walls and a Georgian Pulpit which was thrown out with the box pews in 1880 and returned this century.
John Betjeman mentioned the church in his poem "Summoned by Bells"
