Church History

• Anglican. The parish church is located in OS Grid Square SX4361; it is dedicated to St Leonard and St Dilph (Dilic). The Anglo-Saxons came to Cornwall around the 9th century A.D. and probably built a new church on the Celtic site although no evidence of this building remains. In 1086 the Normans carried out the Domesday survey and Landulph is listed as the manor of Landelech. The Normans built a new church which probably consisted of a west tower, nave and chancel, but only a very little of this building is recognisable within the present structure. Landulph became an important embarkation port for hundreds of pilgrims between 1428 & 1456. With the development of the port and the influx of pilgrims came the need for a bigger church, and so the church was rebuilt around 1420 in the decorated style with a top stage added to the tower and North and South aisles added.
  The present church comprises a chancel, nave, north and south aisles, and a vestry. The arcades have each five semi-pointed arches, springing from monolith, octagonal pillars, with bases and capitals also octagonal; the material is Roberough free-stone and granite. There is a south porch, a walled-up north door, and a vestry door. The tower is of three stages, is buttressed on the square, and finished with battlements and stump pinnacles. It is about 70 feet high. By the late nineteenth century the church was in desperate need of restoration, and a restoration appeal was launched in May 1900, by the Rev. Sylvanus Gregory to raise £2058. The major restoration works were completed by 1902, and many further smaller improvements were made during the early twentieth century, which included the reconstruction of a rood screen and associated figures.
  Details about the plans of the modern church are available on-line.
  
  In 1987 Landulph became part of the United Benefice of St. Dominick, Landulph, St. Mellion and Pillaton with the rector based at the St. Mellion Rectory.
• Non-Conformist. There were chapels belonging to the Wesleyan Methodists, Bible Christians, and the Baptists in the parish.
