Local and Church History
Welcome to the parish church of Cawsand: St Andrew's Mission Church in the Anglican Diocese of Truro and county of Cornwall England.
Before the County boundaries were reformed in the 19th Century, the two villages of Cawsand and Kingsand were in different counties and parishes in spite of the fact that the two villages are so close to one another that they appear to be one.
The original county boundary was a tiny stream that separated the two villages.
Folk in Cawsand were served by the church at Rame in Rame Parish whilst the inhabitants of Kingsand were served by the big church at Maker where many of the Edgcumbe family are buried and memorialised.
Both parish churches are a relatively long and demanding walk from the two villages and, as was the case in many rural areas, it was decided to build a Chapel of Ease or Mission Church to provide people with a more convenient and local place to worship.
The Church of St Andrews in Cawsand was built for just this purpose.
In more recent times the parishes of Maker and Rame have been united to form the parish of Maker-with-Rame and St Andrews Church continues to serve the spiritual needs of both villages.
