St Newlyn East Church
The earliest stone church on the site was probably built in the late 12th century. Remains of Norman masonry still exist in the lower parts of some of the walls and the font is also Norman. The church was enlarged in the 14th Century with further extensions including the tower in the 15th Century. The building today is the result of a careful restoration in 1883-4, re-using as much of the 15th Century masonry and ornamentation as possible including the roof bosses.
