Description: The 15th century church of St James the Great is built on the site of a chapel belonging to a 6th century Celtic monastery that was destroyed in the Saxon invasion of Cornwall in the 10th century. Inside the church is a particularly fine roof, and a beautifully restored mediaeval stained glass window depicting the Passion of Christ, amongst other notable stained glass. There is also a stone inscribed with the old celtic Ogham script (possibly 5th century) with Latin translation, a rare 15th century Lantern cross, and look out for a figure carved on the pulpit, thought to be King Charles hiding in an oak tree. By the entrance to the churchyard is a large specimen of one of Cornwall's iconic celtic wayside crosses.
