Lamorran

Lamorran is a village 3 ¹⁄₂ miles (5.6 km) southwest of Truro in Cornwall, England (50°14′30″N 4°58′29″W / 50.24165°N 4.97462°W / 50.24165; -4.97462Coordinates: 50°14′30″N 4°58′29″W / 50.24165°N 4.97462°W / 50.24165; -4.97462). Lamorran lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park.

Lamorran church was built in the mid-13th century and has never been enlarged. It was dedicated (to St Morenna) in 1261 and restored unsympathetically in 1845 (by William White) and 1853 (for Lord Falmouth; Evelyn Boscawen, 6th Viscount Falmouth (1819–1889)). The tower is separate from the church and the font of Catacleuse stone may be Norman (or 15th century work in the Norman style).

A large monument of 1658 commemorates John Verman and his wife. The churchyard cross is a fine example of a Gothic stone cross.
