St Hilary is a village and civil parish in the Penwith district of Cornwall, United Kingdom.
The Early English style Church of St Hilary has a 13th Century tower; the remainder of the church was rebuilt in 1855 by William White, following a fire in 1853. It is a Grade I listed building. [1] [2] The parish became notorious in the 1930s after extreme Protestant agitators broke into the church and removed or destroyed many of the fittings and furnishings installed by the much-loved Father Bernard Walke, then vicar of St. Hilary. More recently some of these have been restored and the devotional Anglo-Catholic atmosphere has been reinstated.
[edit] Local Government
For the purposes of local government St Hilary is a parish council and elects councillors every 4 years. The principal local authorities in the area are Penwith District Council and the Cornwall County Council.
