Boconnoc Church is a Grade I listed Church of England parish church in Boconnoc, Cornwall.[2]

History and description

The church dates from the 13th to 15th century, but was the subject of a substantial restoration in 1873. It consists of a nave, a south aisle and porch, a north chapel and, in the south west of the church, "a turret instead of a true tower".[3]

It contains a 15th-century font. The tower of 1877 has five sides in the lower part and eight in the upper. Features of interest include a musicians' gallery, the altar table made by Sir Reginald Mohun (1621), the Jacobean pulpit, and a monument to the wife of Will Drew.[4][5]

The church was placed onto the National Heritage List for England in August 1964.[4]
