Hessenford (Cornish: Rys an Gwraghes) is a small village in south-east Cornwall, United Kingdom, four miles west of St Germans on the A387 Polbathic to Polperro road.
[3] It was built by local subscription, local labour and materials, and was dedicated on 26 September 1833, the perpetual curate being appointed by the vicar of Saint Germans.
Hessenford became a parish in its own right by "Order in Council" in 1852 and in 1855 and 1871 the church was rebuilt in early English style.
[3] The lychgates, a gift, were built in 1905, the original gates being used for the entrance to the church yard.
A station was to be built at Hessenford as part of the proposed St Germans & Looe Railway in the late 1930s, but the railway was abandoned without the station having been built.
