==Churches== [[File:The church of St Mary the Virgin, Biscovey - geograph.org.uk - 1170482.jpg|thumb|The church of St Mary the Virgin]] The Anglican church of St Mary the Virgin at Biscovey was completed in 1849. It was built mainly from the local reddish coloured Biscovey slates. The parish of Par was formed out of parts of St Blazey and Tywardreath parishes in 1846. In the churchyard is an inscribed cross shaft removed from the highroad in 1896. This stone is a sepulchral monument to a son of Ullicus erected by Alroron.<ref>''Cornish Church Guide'' (1925) Truro: Blackford; p. 174</ref> The church was the first to be designed by the notable architect [[G. E. Street]]. The design is an original and subtle adaptation of the Early English style. The chancel, nave and south aisle are well proportioned and the steeple is placed at the west end of the south aisle.<ref>Peter Beacham; Nikolaus Pevsner (2014). ''Cornwall''. Yale University Press. pp. 396β97. {{ISBN|978-0-300-12668-6}}</ref> The church is a Grade II* listed building. The Church of the Good Shepherd at Par Green was designed by [[Edmund Harold Sedding|E. H. Sedding]] and built of granite with [[Polyphant stone]] dressings in 1896. It is in the Early English style; the sanctuary was embellished by Stephen Dykes Bower in 1948.<ref>Beacham (2014), p. 397</ref>
