The Church of St Nicholas and St Faith is a Church of England parish church in Saltash, Cornwall. The church is a grade I listed building.[1]
History
The earliest parts of the church date to the Norman period. The church was remodelled in 14th and 15th centuries. It is built of rubble and has a slate roof. The church consists of a nave, a north aisle with five bays, a south porch, and a tower to the north.[1]
For 700 years of its existence, this church was a chapel-of-ease of the Church of St Stephen, Saltash.[2] In 1881, by order of the Privy Council, the chapel became a Parish Church in its own right.[2] Therefore, what had once been known as St Nicholas' Chapel, became the Parish Church of St Nicholas and St Faith.[1][2]
On 17 January 1952, the church was designated a grade I listed building.[1]
Present day
The Church of St Nicholas and St Faith is part of the Benefice of Saltash alongside the Church of St Stephen, Saltash.[3] The parish of St. Nicholas and St. Faith Saltash is part of the Saltash Team Ministry in the Archdeaconry of Bodmin of the Diocese of Truro.[2][4]
