Description
The Church of St Levan is an Anglican mission church built between 1884 and 1885 by J. Reeves. It is constructed from dressed Pentewan stone and features a slate roof with coped gable ends. The church has a small two-cell layout, consisting of a nave and chancel under one roof, with a vestry on the south side and a wide porch resembling a narthex at the west end.
In the Victorian Early English style, the exterior showcases tall cusped lancets on both the north and south sides, with the north side also featuring a stone lateral stack with set-offs. The east end is adorned with triple lancets and a stone cross at the apex of the gable. At the west gable end, there is a stone bellcote on corbels, which forms an arch over a lancet window. The wide three-bay west porch includes three pointed arches with carved stone shields and an inscription that reads, "Jesus Came to Them Walking on the Seas." Inside, there is a plank inner door with wrought-iron hinges. The vestry on the south side rises from the churchyard retaining wall and has a shouldered arch doorway on its west side.
The interior features exposed stone walls and a plain pointed chancel arch. The roof is arch-braced with exposed common rafters. The east end has triple lancets with nook-shafts, and there is a Devon marble reredos from 1895, also by J. Reeves. Additional interior elements include a wrought-iron Communion rail, choir stalls with trefoil ends and arcaded fronts, a carved wooden eagle lectern, and stained glass windows.
