Parish Vestry

The Parish Vestry building, dated 1820, is located on Church Lane in Camborne. It features a facade made of snecked killas rubble with granite quoins, although it is covered with render above the ground floor. The sides and rear are constructed of uncoursed rubble, topped with a slate roof. The building has a rectangular plan with its gable facing the road and an added porch at the north end.

This two-storey structure has a symmetrical facade facing the churchyard, designed in the Tudor style. It consists of three bays under two gables, with three wide Tudor-arched openings at the ground floor (including one window and two doorways) and three windows at the first floor. All openings have chamfered surrounds and hoodmoulds, while the windows are of two lights with chamfered mullions and diamond leaded glazing, although the ground floor window was boarded at the time of the 1988 survey. Each gable features a rectangular granite panel, and the gable copings are adorned with apex finials.

On the left (north) gable wall, there is a flight of external steps leading to a first-floor doorway, which is protected by a brick porch dating from around 1900. Adjacent to this is a large rendered panel with a pilastered architrave and stilted segmental head, enclosing raised lettering that reads "PARISH VESTRY." The rear of the building includes a former doorway with a lintel inscribed "1820."

Historically, the ground floor served as a lock-up from 1820 to 1858. The building was likely constructed following Sturges Bourne's Act of 1819, which allowed parishes to establish select vestries for more effective management of poor relief, reflecting Tudor influences in its design. This makes it a rare surviving example of a building serving this purpose and the earliest local government building in the area.
