St Thomas of Canterbury's Church, Camelford

St Thomas of Canterbury's Church, Camelford is a church in the Church of England Diocese of Truro in Camelford, Cornwall. It is a chapel-of-ease in the parish of Lanteglos-by-Camelford.

History
The church was built between 1937 and 1938 to the designs of the architect Charles Nicholson. The Cowlard family of Launceston). gave the medieval font. Pevsner describes it as "A minor delight. It sits well on a slightly elevated site above the main road, its modest scale and use of local Delabole slate combining well with an understated Romanesque style..."

There was in medieval times a chapel of St Thomas in the town which probably fell into disuse after the Reformation (it is recorded in 1312).
