St Ruan Major Church

Amazing little gem hidden away...great find

• History of the church:This church was dedicated in 1207. Regular services ceased in 1941 with the church finally closing in 1956; de-roofed in 1964-1966.Windows in the south wall of the church are believed to be from C13 date. They may not be in situ but re-used from an earlier building.The church was restored and rebuilt in 1866-67; Charles Henderson comments - an unhappy restoration or rebuilding in 1866 ... deprived Cornwall of one of the most curious and interesting of her churches".Both of the aisles were removed

Old ruins of church nice to see

Despite the church information specifying one parking space, the nearby residents have blocked all possible parking spaces with posts and rocks. It is now impossible to park anywhere near the church. Very disappointing.
