North Tamerton

North Tamerton (Cornish: Tre war Damer) is a village and civil parish in east Cornwall, England, UK.

The canal was unusual in using six inclined planes instead of locks to climb from sea level to its maximum altitude of 433 feet (132 m): one of the six inclines was south of Tamerton wharf.

The 15th century church is dedicated to St Denis and is located at grid reference SX 311 973.

The church has a chancel, nave, south aisle and a granite ashlar battlemented tower 70 feet (21 m) in height.

The belfry houses a ring of six bells,[3] and a local tradition says that the treble bell came from Tetcott church, across the River Tamar, and John Taylor the bell-founder having recast North Tamerton's ring of five in the early 19th century sold the treble to Tetcott so that the parishioners at North Tamerton could hear it across the valley and decide to acquire it.
