Church of St Rumon, Ruan Major, Grade-Ruan - Cornwall (UA)

Medieval former parish church. Roof removed shortly after closure in 1963. The Diocese has undertaken consolidation to the low walls but not to the tower which has a tree growing out of it at high level. Discussions for the future of the ruin are ongoing. As of 2022 the sale or other disposal of the church is being considered by the Church Commissioners, but with no agreed alternative use agreed to date.
