Parish History[edit | edit source]
Tideford St Luke is an Ecclesiastical Parish in the county of Cornwall, created in 1847 from St Germans, Corwall Ancient Parish.
The church of St Luke was designed by renowned architect George Wightwick. The building was originally erected as a chapel-of-ease in St Germans parish and was consecrated on 31 July 1845, consisting of a chancel, nave and gable-cote containing two bells. The church is fitted with oak seats and contains a pulpit. The registers date from 1845.
Tideford is now part of the united parishes of St Germans, Hessenford, Downderry and Tideford in the Diocese of Truro.
The small Wesleyan Methodist chapel was built in 1838 and there was also a Reformed Methodist chapel.
There was also once a Society of Friends (Quakers) chapel in Tideford, with a cemetery attached.
