All Saints’ Church, Pentewan

All Saints’ Church stands in the quiet village of Pentewan on Cornwall’s south-west coast. Built in 1821 by Sir Christopher Hawkins, it was part of a plan to improve the village. The church is painted bright yellow inside, giving the space a warm glow. Plain wooden pews line the nave, and an electric organ sits at the west end. Its simple design reflects the early 19th-century style of the time. The church forms part of a joint parish with Holy Trinity Church in St Austell and St Levan’s Church in Porthpean. This arrangement links three places of worship across the area. The Grade II listing recognises the building’s historical importance. Inside, the yellow walls and plain furnishings create an uncluttered atmosphere. The electric organ is used for services and community events. Visitors find a small but welcoming interior with a single aisle leading to the altar. The pews are arranged in straight rows, and the organ stands ready for music. The yellow paint covers every wall, making the space feel bright even on cloudy days. Outside, Pentewan’s coastal path offers views of the sea after a short walk. The church sits close to the harbour, where boats once loaded clay from local mines.
