    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.

    The photographs featured on Piktour are copyrighted and should not be used without permission. The photographer encourages enthusiasts to use their work in a non-commercial capacity but with attribution. For commercial usage of their work, a donation to the Cornish Historic Churches Trust is recommended.

    In summary, St Symphorian’s Church is located in Forrabury, Cornwall, UK, and is a classic example of Norman style churches. The Churches Project is a photographic project that documents the rich diversity of Cornwall’s churches and the work of the Cornish Historic Churches Trust.

  • St. Paul’s Church Illuminated by His Light

    The Light of St Paul over his Church

    St Paul’s Church is a 19th-century church located in Charlestown, Cornwall, that boasts a grand façade complete with steeple. The church was constructed in the Early English style using granite stone from a quarry in Stenalees and has a slate roof. The church interiors feature stunning colours in the woodwork, stonework, kneeler cushions, and stained glass windows. The Churches Project began around April 2015, inspired by the black and white photographs of Cornwall’s granite landscapes. However, after visiting Zennor Church, the photographer realized that Cornwall’s churches and churchyards presented a greater photographic interest. The gritty exterior of Cornwall’s churches was ideal for black and white photography, while their interiors featured breathtaking colours. The project was initially funded and supported by www.inlinefilters.co.uk, the UK’s leading Filter Specialists serving the heavy-duty automotive industry.

    The Cornish Historic Churches Trust is responsible for the preservation and maintenance of Cornwall’s beautiful churches for future generations. The Trust’s website may be visited to support these efforts. The Portfolio Website & Blog, Piktour, is run by the photographer and is available to visit and view the magnificent photographs taken of Cornwall’s churches. All photography and equipment is sponsored by www.inlinefilters.co.uk.

    Although the photographs are taken purely as a hobby, they are gladly shared with those who appreciate and use them. In such cases, it is kind to receive an accreditation for use, and if there is any financial benefit from using the pictures, a donation to the Cornish Historic Churches Trust would be greatly appreciated.
