Welcome to the parish church of St Germans: St Germanus of Auxerre in the Anglican Diocese of Truro and county of Cornwall England.
The memorably picturesque ensemble of church, house and park is of the highest architectural and historic interest.
The present church building in St Germans is the third that has stood on this site. The first was a small Celtic church erected by St Germanus, who visited Britain in A.D. 429. The second church was built by King Athelstane in 936, the year in which he finally conquered the Celts in Cornwall.
The present church was begun in the 12th century, but was not consecrated until 1261. Now, much changed by decay and renovations, it survives as a massive and inspiring building blessed with a wonderful acoustic - so much used for significant religious events and concerts. St Germans church frequently plays host to the East Cornwall Bach Choir.

Welcome to the parish church of Tideford: St Luke in the Anglican Diocese of Truro and county of Cornwall England.
The Victorian church of St Luke was designed by renowned architect George Wightwick. The building was originally erected as a chapel-of-ease in St Germans parish and was consecrated on 31 July 1845. It consists of nave and chancel and the east window with its nativity theme was given by a former incumbent, the Rev'd Edward Glanville in memory of his daughter. For safety reasons the bell cot which housed two bells was removed from the roof. To-day there is just one bell now at shoulder level by the south door.
