Sunday worship is as announced on the Parish
Diary page.
The Church of St. John the Baptist,
Polperro, lies within the parish of Talland (visit our church pages at www.church.talland.org) and
the Diocese of Truro (visit pages at www.truro.anglican.org).
St. John’s serves the community in the village of Polperro and is
visited each year by hundreds of holidaymakers and tourists who come to
experience this wonderful Cornish fishing port.

Polperro itself used to be divided
between the two parishes of Lansallos and Talland by the River Pol, though
in 1875 the boundaries were re-drawn and the whole of Polperro now lies
within the parish of Talland. St. John’s was built in 1838 by the then
Rector of Lansallos, to enable the villagers, and particularly the fishing
community, to have easier access to worship. The church was built on a plot
of land clinging to the valley side, and is reached by climbing Little
Laney, a fairly steep but mercifully short path from Lansallos Street. The
church seats just under a hundred people, although it has held far more
than that for some services.
