Landmarks
The parish church of St Mary stands in the hamlet of Sheviock at {{gbmapping|SX 370 550}}: the building is of the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries. The church is one of only a few in Cornwall to have a spire. Two late 14th-century tombs are thought to be of three members of the Courtenay family. There is stained glass by Wailes to the designs of George Edmund Street who restored the church in 1850. The restoration included rebuilding and reroofing the chancel.Pevsner, N.
