Location The parish of Probus, extending to just over 8,000 acres, is approximately 4 miles northeast of the City of Truro. It is bounded on the north by the parishes of Ladock and St Stephen in Brannel, on the east by Grampound, Creed, and Cuby, on the south by Cornelly, Lamorran, and Merther, and on the west by St Clement's and St Erme. The parish, and village, are named after St Probus, to whom the church is dedicated. He appears to have been a British Christian, who is believed to have lived at some time in the late 5th century, but little more is known. King Athelstan founded a monastic centre in Probus in 930 A.D., as part of his programme of converting the Celts to a Saxon way of life. After the Norman conquest, the church was given to Exeter Cathedral, and although the monastery survived with a Dean and Canons, in 1268 the deanery was surrendered to the Bishop of Exeter and ceased to exist. The present church, built of Cornish granite in the Perpendicular Gothic style, dates in the main from about 1450. The tower at 125’ 10”, rightly famous as being the tallest in Cornwall, was started in about 1523 and finished in Elizabeth I’s reign.
