St Austell Church
Most of St Austell church is 15th Century, including the tower, but includes some 13th and 14th Century remains. During this period, endowments were recorded for a chapel dedicated to St Michael and it is thought that this was incorporated into the East end of the 15th Century church. The church underwent a Victorian restoration in 1872. The oval shape of the churchyard and dedication to a Celtic saint suggests that the site might date back to Early Mediaeval times before the Norman Conquest.
