St German's Priory

About

St Germans Priory is a former Augustinian priory church in the village of St Germans, Cornwall, England. Originating as the seat of the Saxon bishops of Cornwall, the present building is largely Norman, with significant extensions in the 14th and 15th centuries and later restoration in the Victorian period. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the priory became associated with the Eliot family, and the church now serves as the parish church of St Germans while remaining part of the historic Port Eliot estate complex.
