PERRANZABULOE PERRANPORTH SW 75 NE 2/82 Remains of Old Parish Church (of 30.5.67 St Piran) GV II

Foundations of former parish church. C12, extended in the C15, dismantled circa 1803 to remove the principal architectural features including: tower, windows, arches, arcade masonry and porch, to build the present Church of St Piran (qv) on its new site. Killas rubble. Plan: Nave/chancel, west tower, south transept, south porch and north aisle with rood stair projection. Possibly there was a north transept as there is a gap in the north wall. If so, this is similar plan to the 1905 rebuilt church at Perranzabuloe. Walls survive to more than 2 metres high in places. Source: Kelly's Directory.
