Standing beside the road between Callington and Liskeard, St Ive is a remarkable example of a 14th century church.

Beautifully positioned on the north bank of the river Ouse, you cannot fail to be struck by the extremely graceful tower and spire, the excellent proportions are apt to make it seem much higher than it really is.

St Ives Free Church is one of the oldest nonconformist churches in the country, tracing its history right back to the 1630s when Oliver Cromwell lived in the town for five years.

Our building represents over 200 years of Methodist presence in St Ives with fascinating wartime history.

There's an awful lot of historical water under St Ives bridge and chapel.

Built largely between 1531 and 1536 by Henry VIII, much of the original red brick building erected by Henry VIII still survives today, including the Chapel Royal, the gatehouse, some turrets and two surviving Tudor rooms in the State apartments.

On entering the Cathedral all the awkwardness of the red brick exterior disappears and you find yourself in an inspiring church quite unlike any other you will have ever seen.

An inclusive, beautiful church with a strong culture of welcoming.

Welcome to the ancient parish church of St Just in Penwith, a fine building located at the very heart of the town, the most westerly town on the mainland of Britain, about seven miles west of Penzance.

The current church building dates from the 13th century. It was consecrated by Bishop Walter Bronescombe on the 14th August 1261.
