Snecked local stone rubble with granite dressings and slate roof with gabled ends and
sprocketted eaves. Parapet coping at east end of chancel.
Plan: Nave and chancel with north transept, vestry on north side of chancel and
south porch. A gabled bellcote on the exterior marks the distinction between th nave
and chancel. Gothic style.
Exterior: Cusped heads to lancets lighting the north and south walls of the nave and
chancel. 3-light chancel window with 2 mullion and transom windows with cusped head
flanked by 2 lancets at the west end. The gable porch has a chamfered granite
shouldered arch.
Interior: Not accessible. The font is illustrated by Sedding and was probably
brought from the rectory garden at Lanteglos-by Camelford: possibly Saxon in origin
with a round bowl, cable bands decorating the shaft on a later C19 base. The C16
carved timber pulpit was brought back from Germany by Sir William Molesworth in the
early C19 and presented to the Church in 1928.
