St Pol de Léon's Church, Paul, Medieval parish church in Paul, Cornwall, England
The granite tower of St Pol de Léon's Church reaches 89 feet with double buttresses and includes a turret serving as a navigation daymark for Mount's Bay.
Originally founded in 490 by Paul Aurelian, the church structure faced destruction during a Spanish raid in 1595 and underwent complete reconstruction by 1600.
The east window, designed by Robert Anning Bell in 1918, commemorates Lieutenant William Bolitho and stands as a prominent stained glass creation in Cornwall.
The church holds Holy Communion services every Wednesday at 9 AM following the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, with a Quiet Garden available for meditation.
The churchyard contains a memorial to Dolly Pentreath with the only surviving traditional Cornish inscription, established by Napoleon Bonaparte's relative Louis Lucien.
