Description
The Church of St Conan, dedicated to St Conan, was built in 1883 to a design by Bishop E.W. Benson. It is constructed from snecked local stone rubble with granite dressings and features a slate roof with gabled ends and sprocketted eaves. The east end of the chancel has parapet coping. The church has a plan that includes a nave and chancel, a north transept, a vestry on the north side of the chancel, and a south porch. A gabled bellcote on the exterior distinguishes the nave from the chancel, and the building is designed in the Gothic style.
The exterior includes lancets with cusped heads lighting the north and south walls of both the nave and chancel. At the west end, there is a 3-light chancel window featuring two mullions and a transom with a cusped head, flanked by two lancets. The gable porch has a chamfered granite shouldered arch.
The interior is not accessible, but it features a font that is illustrated by Sedding and was likely brought from the rectory garden at Lanteglos-by-Camelford. This font may be of Saxon origin, with a round bowl and cable bands decorating the shaft, set on a later 19th-century base. Additionally, the church houses a 16th-century carved timber pulpit that was brought back from Germany by Sir William Molesworth in the early 19th century and presented to the church in 1928.
