St Hydroc is situated adjacent to Lanhydrock House, the major National Trust property in Cornwall. It contains the monuments and burials of the Estate families. It also has a fine alabaster reredos and a working peal of 8 bells. It dates from the 1400's and is the local parish church, with services every Sunday. The church is kept open for Lanhydrock House visitors, but does not belong to the National Trust.
Gunwen Methodist Church was built 1869. Gunwen is not our easiest church to find. It lies two miles north of Luxulyan adjacent to Breney Common Nature Reserve and looks towards Helman Tor. It's lovely country for a picnic.
The church and village is named after St Neot. He died circa 877 and was buried in the church. Around 974 Earl Alfric stole the remains and removed most of them to Eynesbury (now called St Neots) in Huntingdonshire.
