Little Petherick

Cornwall

Circa C14 origins, restored in 1858 by William White and in 1908 by Sir Ninian Comper.

Architectural Features

Plan: Circa C14 origins with south aisle rebuilt in 1741.

Church restored by Sir Ninian Comper (patron Athelstan Riley) when the stencils were removed and the high altar, reredos and rood screen with loft were added.

Carved corner pinnacles and lancet belfry openings with slate louvers.

C15 font

some C16 bench ends.

The church is especially outstanding because of the work by Comper which includes a particularly fine rood screen with loft above, carved by John Parsons of St Teath and decorated by artists under the superintendence of H.A. Bernard Smith.

Fine momunent to Andalusia Riley in memorial chapel to south of chancel.
