St Erme church

St Erme (Cornish: Egloserm) is a civil parish and village in Cornwall, England, in the United Kingdom. The parish of St Erme, has a population of approximately 1200.[1] This had increased to 1,363 in 2011[2] Trispen is a small village within the parish.

Trispen (Cornish: Tredhespan) has a Post Office contained within the local Londis convenience store, and a pub called the Clock and Key.

Parish Church of St Hermes

St Hermes' Church, St Erme was rebuilt in 1819-20 by John Foulston (apart from the tower which is medieval). The font is Norman and there is a brass of 1596 to R. Trencreek and family.[3] According to Charles Henderson "The long incumbencies of two wealthy and scholarly rectors in the 18th century reduced the fabric of the church to such a ruinous condition that it had to be rebuilt in 1820, when a new plan was unhappily chosen. Efforts were made to reconcile this with older work in 1908."[4]

Cornelius Cardew (d. 1831) served as curate and as rector of the parish altogether for 60 years and his portrait is in the church.[5]
