Launcells

Launcells (Cornish: Lannseles) is a hamlet and civil parish in north-east Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

There are two aisles but the arcades differ: while the north is of granite the south is of older Polyphant stone.

Other features of interest are the medieval wall painting and the tomb of Sir John Chamond, 1624.

[2] The church also features an unusual post-Reformation wall painting which has been dated between 1680-1690.

In the early Middle Ages the church belonged to Hartland Abbey and there are records of a dispute over the building of the chancel in 1382 which required episcopal intervention.
