This site will eventually contain many free access historical
references to the parish of Callington, provided by the Callington

and local historians. The site was changed and restyled in 2009,
and the intention is to have all the census and
register information available on a database, with additional
information on the parish pages. If you cannot find the information
you require please contact the Callington Heritage Centre using the
