Helston s parish church has taken the decision to close until lockdown restrictions ease. Although places of worship are legally allowed to remain open under the rules of this third lockdown, the clergy at St Michael s Church have decided to close its doors to the public for the coming weeks to all services except funerals. Announcing the decision in an email to members of the congregation, Canon David Miller and Rev Christine Schmaus wrote: Many of you will have realised after Monday evening s government announcement of a new national lockdown, that places of worship are not legally obliged to close this time.
