Parish church
The church is one of the smallest in west Cornwall, and is in an exposed position close to the tip of the Lizard. The church was mostly constructed in the 14thc. and 15thc, but it originated as small chapel with a chancel and nave.
The only Romanesque features are the font, and possibly the piscina.

St Michael's is a small church built on an unusual plan. The 13thc tower stands in the place of a S transept, which also has a 15thc. porch. Most of the decorative features, such as the tracery, are Perpendicular. The only Romanesque sculpture in the church is a 12thc font.

Parish church
The church of St. Feoca is mostly 19thc., but retains a south aisle arcade of the 15thc. with plain capitals and five four-centred arches. Some of the doorways and windows are also 15thc.
The detached 13thc. bell tower is a sturdy square stone building with battered wall set over a basement. It has a single doorway with a simple pointed arch, small louvred ventilators to the bell storey, and a pyramidal slate roof.
Romanesque sculpture can be found on the font.
Parish church
Poundstock is a small village about four miles S of Bude. The church lies to the S of the village and was built of freestone ashlar, rubble with freestone and granite dressings. The structure consists of a transept dating to the 13thc, a nave, a N aisle, a chancel and a W tower, all rebuilt in the 15thc, and a S porch added in the 19thc. The church was restored by John Dando Sedding and George Fellowes Prynne in 1896. The Romanesque church seems to have been a cruciform structure: it probably consisted of a nave, a chancel and a S transept, of which only the lower portions of the walls remain (Sedding 1909, 340). The Transitional font placed in the N aisle and a fragmentary colonnette are the only relevant carvings.
Parish church
St Cleer is a small village about two miles N of Liskeard named after St Clarus, his patron, who probably founded the church in the 8thc. The church lies to the S of the village and consists of a granite rubble with granite dressings structure of a chancel, an aisled nave, a S porch and a W tower. The original 12thc building was largely renovated between the end of the 13thc and the beginning of the 14thc. From the end of the 14thc the chancel and the nave were extensively altered, and during the 15thc the S aisle, the S porch and the tower were added to the structure. The church was restored at the end of the 19thc.
Romanesque sculpture is found on the N doorway and on the font located in the nave.
