Boconnoc Church

Lostwithiel, United Kingdom

Boconnoc 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'.

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.

Located alongside Boconnic house, a country estate. The church is open to the public for services and I was there in a small West Gallery Choir. The church is one if the few with a rsmaing west gallery which were once very common in 18 and 19 century until the choirs and bands were replaced more more controllable organs! We were made very welcome. There is perhaps not a lot for the casual visitor to see unless into west galleries!

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
