  • Laneast Church’s Lectern and Window Found in the Corner

    Lectern and Window in a corner of Laneast Church

    The Norman Church of St Sidwell & St Gulval in Laneast, Cornwall has had several additions over the years, including in the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries, as well as a major restoration in 1848. It is located near the holy Jordan Well, which was formerly used for baptism and divination. The church and its surroundings have inspired a photography project, The Churches Project, which focuses on capturing Cornwall’s granite landscapes and the gritty, Black & White exterior of churches. The Cornish Historic Churches Trust is an organization that looks after the preservation of Cornwall’s historic and beautiful churches. The photography and equipment for The Churches Project are sponsored by www.inlinefilters.co.uk, and the portfolio website and blog is available at www.piktour.uk. The photographer responsible for The Churches Project is happy to share the images for non-commercial use, but requests accreditation and a donation to www.sightsavers.org for commercial use. Fine art prints and downloads are also available through Piktour.uk.

  • Incredible Woodwork Found within the Walls of Gunwalloe Church

    Amazing Woodwork inside Gunwalloe Church

    St Winwaloe’s Church is located in Gunwalloe, Cornwall, UK. It is predominantly from the 15th century, but parts of the church date back to the 13th century. The church has a unique three-hall design and an unusual statue outside the entrance. One of the fonts is believed to be from the Norman era. The church has a detached bell tower which adds to its charm. Some of the elements inside the church, such as the woodwork, stonework, kneeler cushions, and stained-glass windows, make for stunning photography opportunities.

    The Churches Project started in April 2015 when the photographer wanted to capture more black and white photographs of Cornwall’s granite landscapes. However, a visit to Zennor Church helped him realize that the area’s churches and churchyards had more photographic interest for him. The gritty appearance outside added to the beauty inside, making them ideal for black and white photography. The Churches Project was born, featuring photographs and stories of the churches he visited.

    The Cornish Historic Churches Trust is a non-profit organisation that helps to care for Cornwall’s beautiful churches for future generations. Their website is available for those who want to support their work. The photographer’s equipment and photography are sponsored by inlinefilters.co.uk, who serve the automotive industry as filter specialists.

    Piktour is the photographer’s portfolio website and blog. He is based in Cornwall, and his blog features various Cornish landmarks, towns, and cities for those who want to plan a visit to the area. People who are interested in his photography are welcome to use his pictures, but he requests attribution if they are used for commercial purposes.

  • Revamp and Modify the Altar and Chancel Region of Lansallos Church

    Alter and Chancel area of Lansallos Church

    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.
