St Wyllow's Church is a Grade I listed parish church in Lanteglos-by-Fowey, Cornwall, England. The building has Norman origins and was largely rebuilt in the late 14th and 15th centuries in the Perpendicular Gothic style. It retains 12th-century features and a 13th-century font, as well as an extensive collection of late medieval carved bench ends. The churchyard contains a 14th-century lantern cross. The church was restored in 1906 by the architect Edmund Sedding.

Background
History
St Wyllow's Church dates to the Norman period, with surviving 12th-century details in the jambs of the south doorway and tower arches. A stone set in the main doorway, bearing a carved Chi-Ro symbol, has been dated to the 8th century. The present church dates mostly to the late 14th century when the tower, nave, and north arcade were added. The south arcade was added in the 15th century. The porch possibly dates to the 17th century. British author Daphne du Maurier was married at St Wyllow's church in 1932. The church was inspiration for Lanoc Church in her first novel, 'The Loving Spirit'. The church was designated a Grade I listed building in 1964.
