== Churches ==
Introduced in 4th or 5th century AD, Christianity was the dominant religion in Cornwall for centuries, almost every village has at least one church, and churches can be found even in isolated areas on their own. Since the decline of church-going in the UK during the 20th century, many of these became disused and were sold to become private residences. Due to protective legislation older churches are protected from significant alterations by designations such as Grade II listing status.
