About the Church

The Church of St. Levan's at Higher Porthpean was built in 1885. Its construction was funded by Lady Graves-Sawle (owner of the Penrice Estate) at a cost of £1,000. Following the death of Mrs Cobbold Sawle, (the last Sawle in the family), the building was given by the Trustees to St Austell Parish in 1981. The Church and Sunday School Room are the only community buildings in the village of Porthpean, and so provide a valuable resource for local people.
