Truro Cathedral Cornwall

The establishment of the Truro Cathedral was made possible by the vision of Edward White Benson who was the first Bishop of Truro from 1877 - 1883. Cornwall had its own Bishop at St Germans until the later part of the 10th century. After three decades of intense lobbying, the Diocese of Cornwall was re-established at Truro. The coverage of the Diocese includes the whole of Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly and two parishes in Devon.
