St Buryan's Church, 15th-century parish church in St Buryan, Cornwall, England
Standing at 92 feet tall, the church tower constructed in 1501 features precise construction with wrought-cut granite from the Lamorna quarries.
King Athelstan established a monastery at this location in 930 AD after successfully praying at Saint Buriana's chapel during his conquest of Cornwall.
The church maintains regular Sunday services, monthly lay-led gatherings, and operates the St Buryan Food Larder to support community members.
The building remains open daily for visitors, offering opportunities for prayer and reflection while serving as a venue for concerts and community events.
The church contains six bells, forming the heaviest full circle peal in existence, with the third heaviest treble bell in the world.
