Spire and Light United Benefice

The name ‘Spire and Light’ bring together the six Churches in the area that spans the eastern edge of the Lizard peninsular. At the north end stands St Keverne church, one of only a few churches in Cornwall which have a spire. At the most southerly point of the group, and the most southerly point of mainland Britain, is the parish of Landewednack and the Lizard lighthouse. This lighthouse was a welcome beam to those returning to England by sea.

​Spiritually the name combines our calling to stand witness to the gospel and glory of Christ and to be orientated to God, both through worship and through daily living.

We are situated at the most southerly tip of Great Britain, on the Lizard peninsula. We cover three parishes comprising of six church buildings.

To enquire about baptisms and weddings, please contact the Deanery Administrator at [email protected] or 07586 833056 or contact the Rural Dean, Revd Heidi Huntley 01326 334370.
