All Saints' Church, Tuckingmill
All Saints’ Church stands in Tuckingmill, a district of Camborne in Cornwall. Built in the 19th century, it follows the Norman Revival style with a granite arcade on the north aisle. The architect was John Hayward from Exeter, and the font came from the chapel at Menadarva. Baroness Basset of Tehidy laid the foundation stone in 1843, and the church was consecrated two years later. Piers St Aubyn carried out renovations in the 1870s, including raising the chancel and replacing the seating. The church contains notable features such as a reredos with an Irish serpentine marble border, completed in 1882. Its east window, designed by Joseph Bell, dates from 1847, while other stained glass windows were made by Fouracre and Watson in the 1890s. The organ, installed in 1879, was purchased from Hele and Sons of Plymouth. The tower holds a peal of eight bells, originally six, added to in 1936 by John Taylor and Company. Visitors find a quiet parish church with simple granite walls and arched windows. The interior includes the Norman font and the alabaster cross on the reredos. The stained glass casts coloured light across the nave, and the organ stands at the west end. The church shares its benefice with two nearby churches, linking it to the wider community. Its modest scale and historic furnishings offer a calm space for reflection.
