Colvend

Built in 1911 Colvend Parish Church is largely made with granite and features an unusual red sandstone dressing, it is most noticeable on the belltower but can be found all around the church exterior. The bell tower roof is one of the steepest to be found anywhere. The interior of the church has a timbered roof, supported on round headed arches atop sandstone columns, these contrast with the plain plastered walls. Stained glass is of various dates, the most striking being the "Ascension", dated 1918 and giving an attractive coloured backdrop to the furnishings.
