Crowan Church
The church at Crowan dates from Norman times although only a few bits of the original Norman stonework remain. The church was rebuilt in the 15th Century. In the 18th Century, so many miners had moved to the parish that the church needed an extension and the south aisle was built. In the 19th Century, the church underwent a fairly heavy restoration resulting in what can be seen today. The bowl of the font is from the original Norman church. The base of the font (with lion feet) dates from mediaeval times.
