Richard's Church Albums

~ St.Cubert, Cubert ~

A Church has been here since the 7th century and the monks of Bodmin looked after the parish until 1269 when the first vicar was appointed. Todays building dates from the 13th and 14th centuries although in the west wall of the tower is a 7th century granite pillar inscribed "Conetocius, son of Tegern0, a sad loss". A Cornish cross of the same period can be seen outside the north door on the transept wall. Inside there is a Norman font, the pulpit is made of carver bench ends. The chancel wangon roof is a richly carved and retains most of the original timber. The church is one of only a few Cornish Churches with a spire.
