Description
In the centre of the picturesque village of Feock in Cornwall, next to the war memorial, is the village church which is dedicated to a little known saint, St Feoca.
The site dates back to the 12th century but the church was almost completely rebuilt between 1840-1876. Perhaps its most unusual feature is the detached bell tower which, before the trees grew so tall, could be seen by sailors from Carrick Roads. It is reputed to be the last church to conduct its service in the Cornish language.
This is the only original part of the thirteenth century church. It contains three bells cast from one larger medieval bell.
