Callington Heritage Centre is situated in the former chapel building on Liskeard Road, Callington. Our interests span all aspects of the social and economic history of Callington and all the surrounding parishes. As well as being a place of interest to visit, the Centre aims to provide a resource for those interested in our local history, whether professional or enthusiast. We also provide, on our web site, a searchable database of records that will be of value to family historians. We currently stage two exhibitions a year which feature aspects of local history.
