Kilkhampton (Cornish: Kylgh)[1] is a village and civil parish in northeast Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.
26 villagers and 23 smallholders had 26 ploughs between them and there was also 30 acres (120,000 m2) of meadow, 20 sq furlongs of pasture and a considerable woodland.
[6] Kilkhampton Church, with its magnificent Norman south doorway and lofty buttressed Perpendicular tower of eight bells, is dedicated to St James the Great and is at least 450 years old.
[citation needed] It is one of many churches dedicated to this saint on a pilgrims' route, which leads ultimately to Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain.
In medieval times there was a chapel at Stowe House, licensed in 1386, but dedicated to St Christina in 1519 by Bishop Thomas Vyvyan.
