Truro is a cathedral city and civil parish in Cornwall, England, UK. It is Cornwall's county town and only city. Truro grew as a trade centre through its port and then as a stannary town for the tin-mining industry.

It took from 1880 to 1910 to build, on the site of the old St Mary's Church, consecrated over 600 years earlier.
