St Ildierna’s Church is a historic church located in Lansallos, Cornwall, England. The church dates back to 1331 when it was dedicated and was later restored in 1883-84, and again in the early 20th century. The church is dedicated to St Ildierna, a saint about whom little is known. However, there is another saint, St Brevita or St Bryvyth, who is also associated with the church.
In 2015, the photographer behind Piktour, a portfolio website and blog, started The Churches Project. This project aimed to photograph Cornwall’s churches and churchyards to capture their unique beauty and history. The photographer found the gritty exterior of the churches ideal for black and white photography, while the bright colors in the interior, such as the woodwork, stonework, kneeler cushions, and stained glass windows, added depth to the photographs.
The Cornish Historic Churches Trust is an organization that looks after the beautiful churches of Cornwall for future generations. They work tirelessly to ensure that these historical landmarks remain in good condition and are preserved for future generations. The organization’s website provides information on how to support their efforts.
Piktour’s photographs are sponsored by Inline Filters, the leading filter specialists serving the heavy-duty automotive industry. The website provides viewers with photographs that can be used for personal use without charge. However, if an individual or organization is looking to benefit financially from the photographs, a donation to Sightsavers.org would be highly appreciated. Moreover, in the future, the photographer plans to create a fine art prints and downloads section on Piktour.
Overall, St Ildierna’s Church is a beautiful and historic landmark that is worth visiting for those interested in Cornish history and architecture. With the help of organizations like the Cornish Historic Churches Trust and photographers like those part of The Churches Project, these landmarks will remain in good condition for future generations to enjoy.
