The Church of St Symphorian in Forrabury, Cornwall, UK, is a classic example of Norman style churches. While the tower was added in 1750, the church itself was established in Norman times. The churches of Cornwall hold a lot of photographic interest for enthusiasts who enjoy the gritty look outside, which can be ideal for black and white photography, and the stunning views inside, including amazing colours in stonework, woodwork, kneeler cushions, and stained-glass windows.
In 2015, a project was initiated by a photographer in Cornwall to take more black and white photographs, particularly of Cornwall’s granite landscapes. The photographer realized that Cornwall’s churches and churchyards held more photographic interest due to their historic and cultural significance. The Churches Project now aims to document the rich diversity of Cornwall’s churches and the work of the Cornish Historic Churches Trust.
The Cornish Historic Churches Trust (CHCT) plays a crucial role in safeguarding the cultural heritage of Cornwall’s religious buildings. The mission of CHCT is to preserve and maintain ancient churches and chapels throughout Cornwall for future generations. The trust raises funds to support the repair and maintenance of churches and undertakes vital conservation work. Visitors to Cornwall can support CHCT’s work by donating online or by becoming a member of the trust.
The Churches Project has support from www.inlinefilters.co.uk who sponsor photography and equipment. The photographer behind the Churches Project runs a portfolio website and blog at www.piktour.uk.
