Church in St Columb Major, England / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St Columba's Church is a 14th-century, Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England Diocese of Truro in St Columb Major, Cornwall.[1] In 1860 plans were drawn up by William Butterfield, in hope of St Columb church becoming the cathedral of the future diocese of Cornwall, but the cathedral was built at Truro.[2] A second church dedicated to the same saint is known as St Columba's Church, St Columb Minor.
