Named after the founder of Bodmin, St Petroc's is the largest parish church in Cornwall. The site is believed to be the original location of St Petroc's monastery, though most of the present church was built in 1469-1472. Part of the tower comprises masonry from the Norman period; the Font is 12th century and is carved with figures of good and evil. Several medieval misericords make up the Lectern. The pillars are typical 'Cornish Perpendicular' with small capitals. Excavations in 1999 revealed remains of a medieval cemetery on the grounds.
