Newlyn
Interior of St Peter's Church, Newlyn, built 1866.
For almost 20 years, services were held in a building called The Reading Room in Newlyn Town (on St Peter's Hill). Building of the church took place during the incumbency of the third vicar, John Pope Vibert, a Penzance man.
In the early English style its pillars are unusually massive.
In 1936 Rev. Allan Gardner Wyon became Vicar of Newlyn. A well known sculptor, his work on the interior of the church is well acknowledged.

Sacreed Parish Church
Buildings
This Parish Church is dedicated to St Creden.
The churchyard and church have, within the late 19th and first part of the 20th-century, made a strong appeal to painters of the Newlyn School of Art, some of whom worshipped regularly at the church and are buried in the churchyard (including Stanhope Forbes RA).

St. Anthony Church
Build
The parish church is dedicated to St Anthony and is situated near Gillan Harbour. It is medieval though parts are of different dates, a window in the chancel (Early English) is the earliest and the north aisle with an arcade of plain octagonal piers somewhat later. The tower was built in the 15th century of granite blocks at the west end. The font is ornamented with angels and a Latin inscription and is probably of the 15th century.[9]
