Description
The Church of St Moren is a small church located in St Michael Penkivel, with some surviving fabric from the 15th century, but mostly rebuilt in 1854. It is constructed of slatestone with granite dressings and features a steeply pitched banded Delabole slate roof with granite coped gables. The church includes a nave, chancel, north transept, south transept, and a south porch.
The north wall of the nave has a three-light cusped and traceried granite window from the 19th century. The north transept has a similar window in its north gable. The east wall of the north transept features a pointed, splayed door frame with rubble jambs and voussoirs to the left, which may be medieval, alongside a 19th-century three-light pointed arched window to the right. The chancel's east window is a three-light window in the Decorated style from the 19th century. The south transept likely dates from the 15th century and contains an original three-light flat-headed window in the east wall, which has some fragments of medieval glass, and an original three-light Perpendicular window in the south gable. The south wall of the nave features a 15th-century flat-headed window with a 19th-century hoodmould. The porch, located at the angle between the nave and chapel, has a 15th-century four-centred moulded door frame and a small buttress to the left. The west gable has a 19th-century pointed door frame and a resited 15th-century Perpendicular three-light window above.
Inside, the church has an arch-braced pitch pine roof and a pointed chancel arch supported by pillars. The fittings include 19th-century oak pews and a pulpit with pierced decoration. There is a Norman font with a round bowl on a round base, featuring four carved heads over round shafts.
