St Mawgan in Pydar

Church Dedication: St Mawgan & St Nicholas

St Mawgan-in-Pydar Church is the parish church for the beautiful village of St Mawgan, just north of Newquay Airport, between Newquay and Padstow.

We have two websites: this one as a part of A Church Near You for church services and the day to day running of the church, including guidance on any safeguarding concerns. We also have a website all about the church's amazing history and heritage: stmawganchurchheritage.org, that has a timeline and particular features on the medieval bench ends, the bells, clock and tower, a churchyard trail and pilgrimage, including the Cornish Celtic Way.

You would be welcome to join us for worship; please see full details of all forthcoming services in our Benefice.

St Columb Major

Church Dedication: St Columba

Our church, a fine Grade 1 listed building dating originally from the 14th century, stands at the head of the Vale of Lanherne. It is normally open to visitors daily from 10am to 4pm and is well worth a visit. Tap TR9 6AE into your GPS to take you to our car park off West Street.

You would be very welcome to join us for worship; please see full details of all forthcoming services here under Services and Events. The list of priests who have ministered here dates back to 1257, and our present Rector Revd. Helen Baber leads our Ministry Team.

The church dates from the 14th century and has tremendous potential as a concert venue for acoustic music. Each summer, at the end of August, the Harmoniemusik ensemble, a group of professional musicians from London, present a series of chamber music concerts to an enthusiastic and appreciative audience.

St Enoder

Church Dedication: St Enoder

Situated in the heart of Cornwall, it has a population of 3,500 and includes the villages of Summercourt, Fraddon, St.Columb Road, Indian Queens, and Trevarren.

It is criss-crossed by roads, old and new, which lead from East to West and from North to South. Along these roads Celtic saints, merchants, pilgrims and tourists have all in their turn travelled and left their mark.

Although the roads separate our community into small villages and hamlets we have a strong Cornish sense of belonging and many of our families can trace their roots in this area back to the dawn of time.

But the roads also bring visitors and take us out into the world. As a Parish we are proud to have friends in far-flung places. We have strong links with the U.S.A, Australia, and Eastern Europe.

Within the Parish of St. Enoder there are three churches, that of St.Enoder, St.Francis at Indian Queens and St.Constantine at Pedna Carne.

St Ervan

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, please see full details of all forthcoming services in our Benefice.

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"
