About Altarnun

  • The Church of St Nonna at Altarnun is one of the finest medieval churches in Cornwall and is known as the Cathedral of the Moor because of its size and grandeur relative to the small village it serves. The church's Norman font, which dates to the twelfth century and is decorated with carved faces and interlaced patterns, is one of the most remarkable examples of Norman decorative carving in the South West. The church also contains a remarkable collection of carved bench ends from the early sixteenth century, depicting a wide range of subjects including musicians, jesters, and religious figures, and they are among the finest examples of late medieval woodcarving in Cornwall.
