St Buryan Church

The Church of St Buryan is a Grade I listed parish church in St Buryan, Cornwall, England. Although a church has occupied the site since at least the early 10th century, the present building dates mainly from the late 15th and early 16th centuries, with surviving fabric from the 12th century. The church is notable for its substantial west tower, late medieval architecture, and its historic status as a Royal Peculiar, which placed it outside normal diocesan control for several centuries. It also contains a renowned peal of bells—the heaviest set of six bells in the world—and a churchyard with early stone crosses and notable burials.
