Spire and Light United Benefice

The name ‘Spire and Light’ bring together the six Churches in the area that spans the eastern edge of the Lizard peninsular. At the north end stands St Keverne church, one of only a few churches in Cornwall which have a spire. At the most southerly point of the group, and the most southerly point of mainland Britain, is the parish of Landewednack and the Lizard land lighthouse. This lighthouse was a welcome beam to those returning to England by sea.

​Spiritually the name combines our calling to stand witness to the gospel and glory of Christ and to be orientated to God, both through worship and through daily living.

We are situated at the most southerly tip of Great Britain, on the Lizard peninsula. We cover three parishes comprising of six church buildings
