Parish church of St Goronus

The patron saint Guron or Goronus is said to have come here from Bodmin.^[1] The church is a fine building of the 15th century though the foundation is Norman. Features of interest include the bench ends and the late medieval font. At Gorran Haven is a 15th century chapel of St Just, restored in the 1860s. At Bodrugan there are some remains of the medieval manor house of the Bodrugans which also had a chapel.^[2] Thomas Tonkin, MP and historian, is buried at the parish church.
