St Petroc's Parish Church, Medieval parish church in Bodmin, England
St Petroc's Church stands as the largest religious structure in Cornwall, featuring a Norman tower that reaches a height of 150 feet.
The current church building, constructed between 1469 and 1472, replaced an earlier monastery established by Saint Petroc during the sixth century.
The interior contains a 12th-century baptismal font, intricate woodwork from 1491, and an ivory casket that once held Saint Petroc's relics.
The church maintains regular Sunday services at 10:00 AM and remains open to visitors throughout the day for self-guided exploration.
The churchyard includes both the ruins of St Thomas Becket Chapel from the 14th century and St Guron's Well at its western entrance.
