Welcome to the parish church of Sancreed: St Creden in the Anglican Diocese of Truro and county of Cornwall.
A few hundred yards west of the church there is a Holy Well and Baptistry, which predate the current parish church building.
A loyal, small, but progressively increasing in number congregation works together to support this church; in worship, community support as well as raising funds to keep the building open. All Visitors are welcome at the church, to join us in worship on a regular basis or if even a one-off.
Today Sancreed remains a doggedly independent parish, providing a unique, traditional, contemplative place for worship in exceptional surroundings.
For other the parishes in the area, Pendeen with Morvah, and St Just-in-Penwith please contact the Reverend Karsten Wedgewood at 'Ermelo', Pendeen, Cornwall, TR19 7SQ.
All donations to keep this wonderful historic church open are gratefully received, either at the church or online:
