St Petroc's Church

Bodmin

St Petroc’s Church is the largest and one of the parish churches in Cornwall. 

The current Church dates back to 1470, although there were earlier churches on the same site from 540AD when the Welsh missionary, St. Petroc, founded a settlement. 

The name Bodmin comes from ‘Bos-Menegh’ in Cornish meaning ‘abode of monks’. St. Petroc’s Church went on to play a central role in Bodmin’s history and development.

There are beautiful features to see both inside and out, including a large finely carved font, stunning stained glass windows, a chantry chapel and a well.
