History
The earliest parts of the church date to the pre-Norman period, 950AD. The church was remodelled in 14th, 15th & 16th centuries. It is built of rubble and has a slate roof. The church consists of a nave, a north aisle with five bays, a south porch, and a tower to the north.[1]
For 800 years of its existence, this church was a chapel-of-ease of the Church of St Stephen, Saltash.[2] In 1881, by order of the Privy Council, the chapel became a Parish Church in its own right.[2] Therefore, what had once been known as St Nicholas' Chapel, became the Parish Church of St Nicholas and St Faith.[1][2]
On 17 January 1952, the church was designated a grade I listed building.[1]
