Boconnoc Parish Church, Cornwall
This evening, I am posting information on Boconnoc Church, Cornwall, England which was rededicated in 1321 but is of mainly 15th century construction.
The church consists of a chancel, nave, south aisle and north aisle. Other features include a small 19th century bell tower, a minstrel gallery, 13th century style font but with 15th century style tracery,decoration, 17th century oak Alter Table and 17th centyury Pulpit.
The church is inextricably linked with the nearby Boconnoc Estae and Manor, near Lostwithiel, which has a history dating back to the 11th century Norman conquest of England.In the 18th and early 19th centuries the property was owned by the famous Pitt family (which produced two British Prime Ministers) and then the Fortescue family through to the present day.
