St. Hugh’s is the parish church of Quethiock, a parish in South-East Cornwall with a large area but small population . The dedication is to St. Hugh of Lincoln, a popular, newly canonised saint in the 13th and 14th centuries. However, the church itself has at least 12th century origins and the site was no doubt of religious significance for a few hundred years before that. Further information on the history of St. Hugh’s can be found on the Heritage page and in the downloadable Self-Guided Tour leaflet. St. Hugh’s is part of the Tribute Benefice of neighbouring churches. A service is held at St. Hugh’s most Sundays, followed by coffee and a chance to socialise, and anyone is very welcome to attend. Baptisms, weddings and funerals can be arranged by contacting the churchwarden and vicar – see Contact page.
