We warmly welcome all OCS members to our new event series for the Springtime, inviting you to beat the January blues...
This event series is an initiative by Lore & Piece, in collaboration with the Federation of Old Cornwall Societies!
A varied programme exploring the churches of Cornwall, as well as giving opportunity for socialising.
Each series will focus on a different group of churches - united by a particular aspect(s).
For 2026, the primary focus will be Medieval wall paintings: the paintings, the people, the politics...

The fourth event for the 2026 series will be held on Thursday 19th March.
Meet us at St Thomas church, Launceston, at 11am, for a guided tour, including a short talk on its wall paintings, we will be leaving around 12midday.
