It’s said that there are more saints in Cornwall than there are in heaven. St Sampson is one of them – a Celtic missionary who passed through the county sometime in the seventh century, and was responsible for a place of worship high on the valleyside overlooking the River Fowey at Golant. The present church dates from the thirteenth century, and is remarkable for its exquisite wooden ceiling and numerous ancient pieces of furniture, including a bishop’s chair which dates from the sixteenth Century.
