The Best Church in Cornwall

This is a fantastic location. Truro only became a Cathedral at the end of the 19th century when Queen Victoria appointed a Bishop for Cornwall. It is an amazing, structure built onto the parish church of St Mary. The rheredos behind the altar is impressive with scenes depicting Elijah's struggle and Christ's ministry. The nave is lofty although slightly out of line with the sanctuary according to my son.

Love this building. I don't go to services but there always seems to be things going on here music, art displays, plays, and the list goes on! It is in the heart of the community, looking forward to Christmas when the church is lit up with Xmas trees donated from all sections of the community. Magical..and you can get lunch or drinks and lovely cakes from the ladies who always put on a good spread.

Very quiet peaceful place well worth a respectful visit. Long slopes or steps lead down to the church and inlet, beautifully kept gardens with the headstones mixed in. A new tea room with new gardens on opposite side of road.
