St Mary Magdalene’s Church, Launceston is a Grade I listed[2] parish church in the Church of England in Launceston, Cornwall. It is unusual for its carvings; the entire exterior of the original part of the church is built of carved granite blocks.

History

The church dates from 1511 - 1524 and was built by Sir Henry Trecarrel of Trecarrel as a memorial to his infant son.

It was restored at a cost of £3,000 in 1894 under the plans of John Dando Sedding, but he died before the work could be carried out, and it was managed by Edmund Harold Sedding and Henry Wilson.[3] A side chapel was added to the south aisle of the church. New seating was provided in the north and south aisles, and oak benches provided for the centre aisles. New choirs stalls were also provided, and all of the carving was done by Charles Trask and Sons, Stoke-under-Ham, Illminster. Stonework was done by William Burt of Newport, Launceston.

Organ

The church has had organs since before the English Civil War. An organ was installed in 1723, probably by Thomas Swarbrick. The donor was either Sir William Morice, 3rd Baronet (1707–50)[4] or his successor Humphry Morice MP (1723–85).

This has had numerous modifications over the years. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[5]
