For 800 years of its existence, this church was a chapel-of-ease of the Church of St Stephen, Saltash.[2] In 1881, by order of the Privy Council, the chapel became a Parish Church in its own right.[2] Therefore, what had once been known as St Nicholas' Chapel, became the Parish Church of St Nicholas and St Faith.[1][2] On 17 January 1952, the church was designated a grade I listed building.[1] Present dayThe Church of St Nicholas and St Faith is part of the Benefice of Saltash alongside the Church of St Stephen, Saltash, and the Benefice of St Mary's Botus Fleming, St. Michael's Landrake, and St. Ternius St. Erney[3] The parish of St. Nicholas and St. Faith Saltash is part of the Saltash Team Ministry in the Archdeaconry of Bodmin of the Diocese of Truro.[2][4] References
