St Dennis Village Church
The church is situated on a prominent hill on the northern side of the village. This photograph was taken from the hillside to the west of the church. Only the church tower is visible through the trees which closely surround the churchyard on all sides. The church and churchyard is built inside an Iron Age fortress, the ramparts of which form the edge of the churchyard on this side of the hill. The church is dedicated to St Denys the Martyr which may have given the village of St Dennis its name. An alternative explanation is that the village derives its name from the older fortress on which the church stands. The Cornish word for fortress is 'Dynas'. I would like to think that whoever first dedicated the church chose their patron saint to closely match this Cornish word.

St Dennis Parish Church
The porch and tower are thought to date from the 14th century. Extensive renovations were carried out in 1847 and in the mid 1980's after a fire. The church tower has a set of 8 bells. The photographer can attest to the high quality of both bells and bellringers.
