A proposal to close St Germans Church, Cornwall has been put forward by St Germans Group Parish PCC and the current priest-in-charge, Revd A. Johnston. As a building with 1000 years of worship to its name and with its unique historical and architectural significance which is renowned both nationally and internationally, we believe it should be preserved in ALL its capacities for future generations. We believe that there is currently much untapped potential to raise the income of the church to a level that would ensure its proper maintenance as has always been the case in previous years. We, the undersigned, are against the proposal from the priest-in-charge, Revd A Johnston and the current PCC of St Germans Group Parish to close St Germans Church.

Seeing this much energy behind the church honestly leaves me completely breathless because I truly worried nobody else felt that same deep connection to these old stone walls. It feels like we have finally tapped into a real momentum that proves this building is not just a relic but a vital part of our community that people still care about deeply.

St Germans has stood for centuries. Revd Johnston needs to rethink this plan fast.

1000 years of history!! Why would you even consider shutting it down?? Fix the money issues some other way.

This church is the heart of the village. If it goes the whole community suffers. Keep it open.

Absolutely gutted to hear this news. This building belongs to the people of Cornwall not just a small group of people trying to make decisions.

My grandmother was married here and my kids were christened in this building. You cant just close a place with that much history. It is just wrong.
