Church of St Breaca, Breage, 15th-century granite parish church in Breage, England
The Church of St Breaca features two aisles divided by granite arcades and contains five medieval wall paintings on its north wall.
The church received its dedication around 1170 to St Breaca, an Irish nun who established her first settlement at Chynoweth near Trew.
The north wall displays medieval paintings of Saints Ambrose, Christopher, Corentine, and Hilary, along with The Warning to The Sabbath Breakers.
The church received £166,500 from the National Lottery in 2018 for tower restoration and creation of a Heritage Centre focusing on Celtic Saints.
The church tower functions as a navigation point for sailors in the English Channel and pilots from Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose.
