Church of Saint Winnear, Medieval church in Gwinear-Gwithian, United Kingdom.
The Church of Saint Winnear features granite walls, a prominent tower from the mid-15th century, and three distinct aisles within its structure.
Dating from 1250, the church underwent major renovations in 1870 under architect John Dando Sedding, who improved the roofs and windows.
The church building maintains connections to local Celtic heritage through its dedication to Saint Gwinear, a 6th-century Irish missionary leader.
Regular worship services occur in partnership with St Elwyn's Church in Hayle and St Erth's Church as part of a joint parish system.
The church organ, installed in 1993, originated from Tregajorran Wesleyan Chapel, replacing an earlier instrument from Hele & Company.
