St Austell Holy Trinity Church

St Austell Holy Trinity Church:  The Parish Church of St. Austell with its 90ft tower stands proudly at the top of Fore Street for everyone to admire. The eight bells in the tower still ring out across St. Austell reminding visitors of it’s presence at the heart of the community.

There is documentary evidence of a Church on the site before 1169 although the present building dates from the end of the 15^th century.

Adorned externally, with beautiful stained glass windows and sculptures, there are a number of interesting plaques commemorating the lives of people with local connections some of whom were prominent on a national scale.

 There is plenty of interest on the inside too, like the Norman Font and the Wagon roof with its beautiful carved bosses.

 “walk- around” guides are available inside the Church with more details and points of interest.

The Church is open from 9am-5pm Monday-Friday and 9am-1pm on Saturdays, as well as on Sundays for services. At most times you will find someone there to welcome you.

The Church provides peace and tranquility in a bustling market town.
