Stithians Church
It is thought that the church may be on the site of a mediaeval religious enclosure. A survey during the 19th Century recorded a circular earthwork was still present around the church and the curved side of the current churchyard may well be the remains of this.
The oldest part of the present church building is 14th Century. The tower was added when the church was rebuilt in the 15th century. It was also extensively restored in 1870. The piscina with a carved basin is thought to date from the 14th Century.
