Parish Church
St Cornelius Church, Cornelly, CornwallSt Cornelly or St Cornelius, is an exquisite little church just down the road from Tregony. It was originally built in the 13th century, restored by Piers St Aubyn in 1866, and has been closely connected with the Gregor family since the rich Truro merchant, John Gregor, purchased the nearby Trewarthenick estate in 1640. The Gregor family spent vast sums of money on the church over the next 300 or so years.
