It will be perhaps a surprise to many persons to be informed 
that the ancient fabric which is very generally supposed to be the 
parish church of Saltash has not been such until 
within the last few years, being in fact only a private 
chapel within the parish of St. Stephens-by-Saltash, and supplied by 
a chaplain whose jurisdiction was limited by the walls of his 
“chapel.” Strange as it may appear, the borough town of Saltash, 
with its Mayor and Corporation, its Members of Parliament, and 
its extended jurisdiction of the silver oar, was only a portion of 
the rural parish of St. Stephens, to whose church, a mile distant, 
its inhabitants had to resort for such offices of the church as 
baptism, marriage, and burial. 
The chapel, which is dedicated to St. Nicholas, was originally a 
cell belonging to the Priory of St. Germans, and its services were 
performed by the monks of that house. In the latter part of the 
fifteenth century, one of the Smyths of Tregonnick left a bequest 
to the chaplain of St. Nicholas Chapel, Saltash, to perform masses, 
Saltash.
