St Grada and Holy Cross Church, Grade, Medieval parish church in Grade-Ruan, England
The church structure incorporates rubble stone construction with significant elements of granite and serpentine in its unbuttressed two-stage tower from 1400.
Originally established in 1250 and known as St Cross in 1261, the church underwent extensive restoration by architect Edward William Godwin during 1862-1863.
The interior contains a thirteenth-century font and multiple brass dedicatory plates, including one from 1522 commemorating James Eryssy and his family.
The church stands in isolation along a grassy track, requiring visitors to walk from nearby Cadgwith or other coastal settlements to reach it.
A small hedgehog has made its home within the organ pipes, which were originally built by Brewer and Co of Truro in 1885.
