St Bellarmin's Chapel is a small Roman Catholic chapel located in Cornwall, England, with origins traceable to the post-Reformation period when Catholic worship was practised in private or concealed settings. The chapel is constructed in a modest, functional style typical of clandestine Catholic chapels built during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when the practice of Catholicism faced legal restrictions in England. Its survival represents an important testament to religious persistence and the material culture of recusant communities in the southwest of England during this period. The chapel's designation as a scheduled ancient monument reflects its significance as a rare surviving example of early modern Catholic religious architecture in the region.
