St German's Priory, Grade I listed Norman church in St Germans, England
The church features two western towers, lean-to aisles, and an expansive nave measuring 102 feet with a Romanesque west front entrance.
The building served as Cornwall's cathedral from 930 when King Athelstan appointed Conan as its first bishop until 1042 when the bishopric moved to Crediton.
The interior holds a 13th-century font, a 15th-century misericord seat depicting Dando and his hounds, and a statue of St Anthony of Padua.
The church opens daily from 10 AM to 4 PM and functions as both a parish church and a venue for community events throughout the year.
The east window, installed in 1896, was designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones and represents one of the finest examples of Victorian stained glass in Cornwall.
