Germoe Church		 The parish church in Germoe is mostly of the 14th century and is built on the site of an earlier Norman church. The church was extended in the fourteenth century with the addition of the north aisle.

The church has a chancel, nave, north aisle, south transept, and a three-stage battlemented tower of granite ashlar. There are three long tailed monkeys carved on the porch which are said to ward off evil.

There is a Godolphin family pew in the north aisle. At the rear of the cemetery is St Germoe’s Chair, dating before the Norman Conquest. The reason for the chair’s existence is a mystery, but it was used in Palm Sunday celebrations. Above the chair can be seen two stone carved heads.

The font pre-dates the current church and is likely to come from the earlier church on this site. Close to the church is St Germoe's Holy Well.
