St German's Priory in the village of St Germans, Cornwall, is a former Augustinian priory church with roots reaching back to the Saxon era, when it served as the seat of the bishops of Cornwall. The largely Norman building, constructed around 1150, received substantial extensions during the 14th and 15th centuries and underwent Victorian restoration. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the priory came under the patronage of the Eliot family and remains part of the Port Eliot estate. Today, the Grade I listed structure continues as the parish church of St Germans.
