Church of All Saints

All Saints Church stands in the village of Millbrook, Cornwall, on ground once served by a smaller chapel built in 1827. The present church, completed in 1895, replaced an earlier building that had grown too small and fallen into disrepair. It is constructed mainly of Plymouth limestone with slate roofs and stone dressings. The church follows the Perpendicular style and can seat 560 people. A planned tower was left unfinished for lack of funds, leaving only the south porch standing. The church’s history is tied to local leaders and craftsmen. Funds were raised by the vicar’s family and local landowners, including Lord Clinton and Mr. W. D. Boger, who donated stone from his quarry. The building committee was led by Rev. H. W. Millet and included Kenelm William Edward Edgcumbe, the 6th Earl of Mount Edgcumbe. The foundation stone was laid with Masonic honours in 1893, and the church was consecrated two years later by the Bishop of Truro. Inside, visitors find oak fittings and memorials donated by parishioners. The pulpit and altar were crafted by Mr. Herbert Read of Exeter, while the nave seats were made by Mr. J. P. Berry of Plymouth. The east window honours a Royal Navy officer, and a stained glass window remembers those lost in the Second World War. The organ, rebuilt in 1909, and the original bell and font from 1827 remain in use. The war memorial beside the church is also recognised for its significance.
