Description

Tresillian Church is a small church originally built as a Chapel of Ease in 1878 and rebuilt in 1904. It is constructed from elvan, shale, and slate rubble with freestone dressings, topped with steep Delabole slate roofs featuring coped gable ends. The church is designed in the Arts and Crafts Gothic style and includes a nave, chancel, south aisle, vestry, and north porch.

The west front features a large ashlar gabled bellcote that houses three bells, supported by a buttressed gable end. Below this is a two-light west nave window with cusped heads and a quatrefoil set within a moulded pointed arch. The bells are positioned within cusped arches, with the middle bell at a higher level. The right aisle gable has a cusped lancet window, and similar windows are found on the north wall of the nave, the south wall of the aisle, and the porch gable. A small quatrefoil is located on the west wall of the porch, which is slightly set back from the nave's west gable end. The chancel features a three-light lancet window on the east gable and a machicolated cornice at the north eaves. A chimney over the vestry includes a louvre with arched gable ends, and there is a pointed arched doorway on the east side of the porch.

Inside, the church has a freestone arcade of pointed arches that are corbelled out and supported on octagonal piers, with a similar but larger chancel arch. There is a piscina on a shaft in the chancel, a scissor-braced pine roof in the nave, and an arch-braced pine roof in the south aisle. The original pine pews have shaped ends. Notable fittings include items from the Church of St Cohan in Merther, a Pentewan stone font likely from the 12th century with an octagonal shaft, a Jacobean 17th-century polygonal oak pulpit with carved panels, a figure of Saint Antony in Catecleuse stone, and a holy water stoup. The right-hand bell in the bellcote originates from the Church of Saint Moran in Lamorran, while the others come from the Church of Saint Cohan in Merther.
