St Winnow (Cornish: Sen Gwynnek[2]) is a civil parish in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Its name may be connected with either that of Saint Winnoc or Saint Winwaloe. It has a population of 304,[3] which had increased to 328 at the 2011 census.[4] The church town is on the east bank of the River Fowey south of Lostwithiel. Part of the village of Lerryn lies within the parish as does the Chapel of St Nectan. The Redlake Meadows & Hoggs Moor, a Site of Special Scientific Interest is also in the parish.

St Winnow's Church, St Winnow is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England in St Winnow, Cornwall.[3]

The church is probably built n the site of the 7th century oratory of St Winnoc. A stone church was built in the 12th century, probably cruciform in plan, and there are traces of the Norman stonework on the north side. The transept arch was reconstructed in the 13th century. About 1465 the south wall was demolished and the south aisle, arcade and roofs built.

The chancel was restored by John Dando Sedding between 1873 and 1874. A new Polyphant Stone window was put in the chancel end, with a stained glass window featuring the crucifixion and bearing the inscription Absit ut glorier nisi in cruce (May I glory in nothing but the cross). Two new Polyphant Stone windows were inserted in the nave. The chancel was roofed with oak, and stalls were fitted. It was laid with encaustic and glazed tiles. The nave was reseated in pitch-pine. The rood screen was restored and fixed on the south side of the chancel. It was reopened for worship by the Lord Bishop of Exeter Rt. Revd. Frederick Temple on 11 April 1874.[4]
