St Bartholomew
Lostwithiel, Cornwall
A 12th Century church situated in the very centre of the Lostwithiel, one of Cornwall's ancient statuary towns.
St Nectan’s chapel survived the civil war but the top stories of the medieval tower were knocked off by Parliamentary cannon fire.
It was rebuilt and enlarged in the 19th century, and then fell into disrepair.
In the 1960s parishioners carefully restored a reduced size chapel.
St Nectan’s churchyard is still much in use and provides the current parish burial ground and is a living churchyard.
