St Hermes’ Church, St Erme is a Grade II * listed parish church in the Church of England Diocese of Truro in St Erme, Cornwall, England, UK. ==History== The church was rebuilt in 1819-20 by John Foulston (apart from the tower which is medieval) for the Revd. Cornelius Cardew. The church was later restored in 1906. The tower was restored with new floors and beams and a new lead roof, and the pinnacles were reset. The bells were recast and increased in number to form a new peal of six. A new south doorway was built of Polyphant stone, and new doors of solid oak were installed. New windows were inserted into the belfry, the gift of the Dean and Chapter of Truro Cathedral. The font is Norman and there is a brass of 1596 to Robert Trencreek and family.〔Pevsner, N. (1970) ''Cornwall''; 2nd ed. Penguin Books; p. 171〕 According to Charles Henderson "The long incumbencies of two wealthy and scholarly rectors in the 18th century reduced the fabric of the church to such a ruinous condition that it had to be rebuilt in 1820, when a new plan was unhappily chosen. Efforts were made to reconcile this with older work in 1908."〔''Cornish Church Guide'' (1925); pp. 91-92〕 Cornelius Cardew (d. 1831) served as curate and as rector of the parish altogether for 60 years and his portrait is in the church.〔Mee, Arthur (1937) ''Cornwall''.
