The Friends of St Mabyn church

The Friends is a non-profit making charity who raise funds for the repair and restoration of the fabric of our Church. The Church is over 700 years old and starting to show its age. If our children and grandchildren are to continue to enjoy it as the finest building in our village, then funds must be raised urgently for the repair of the north roof and the securing of one of the four pinnacles on the magnificent tower - the second highest in Cornwall.
