St Mary Magdalene's Church

St. Mary Magdalene's Church in Launceston features unique carved granite blocks on its exterior. Dating back to the 12th century, the current building (1511-1524) was erected by Sir Henry Trecarrel in memory of his son. After the dissolution of Launceston Priory in 1539, the Corporation took over management. Various repairs and additions ensued, including a west end gallery in 1718 and a restoration in 1894 under John Dando Sedding's plans. Notable features include a memorial to Thomas Prockter Ching and a Gothic Rood Screen by the Pinwill sisters.
