Welcome to Boconnoc Church.
Boconnoc Parish Church is unusual in that it has no dedication or name other than that of the parish itself.
The Church is situated in the middle of the Boconnoc Estate, near Lostwithiel, next to Boconnoc House. It is a parish church, not a private chapel, although there is a very strong and close relationship between the church and the estate.
Sunday worship is usually quite traditional, the church is a member of the Prayer Book Society, and all Sunday worship is according to the Book of Common Prayer.
The Church has a very significant marriage ministry.
If the Church is not open, then you may be able to gain access by enquiring at the Estate Office. If you are planning a visit, then please let us know, and we will try to help.
