Colan Church, Medieval church in Colan, Cornwall, England
The church building features a tower constructed from slatestone and granite rubble, with granite dressings adorning its exterior architecture and medieval design elements.
The church's foundation dates to 1301, with significant modifications carried out during the 14th and 15th centuries, including the reconstruction of its tower in 1879.
Two monumental brasses inside the church commemorate Francis Bluet with his family from 1572 and John Coswarth, former Receiver General of the Duchy of Cornwall.
The church maintains regular worship services and remains accessible to visitors interested in examining its architectural features and historical monuments throughout the year.
An octagonal stone font rests on an equally octagonal stem, while the nave displays a wagon roof with carved wall plates from different construction periods.
