Brief description

2025-

"Christians have been worshipping at St Mary’s for centuries, and we’re blessed with a beautiful church that reflects this. St Mary’s was originally a chapel of ease to St Sampson’s at South Hill, which was the mother church but was consecrated in 1438 for burials after the local miners complained of the distance to South Hill. There are 38 graves and records show 98 people buried here.

St Mary’s is in the centre of Callington and is built of large granite blocks typical of 15th-century architecture, and restorations have preserved this character. Originally there were two aisles, but in 1882 the north aisle was added and houses six ecclesiastic sculptures of famous Christians. St Mary’s stained glass windows are dated between 1875 and 1884. The Romanesque font has been dated as between 1100 and 1130 and is thought to be a remnant of the original Norman chapel documented as being on the site in 1384. The tomb of Sir Robert Willoughby is near the high altar. Dated 1502 it is made of the finest alabaster and considered to be one of the most magnificent in the Westcountry."
