Probus is a compact village and civil parish in Cornwall, lying a few miles south‑east of Truro amid gently rolling farmland. It feels typically rural, with market‑garden plots, smallholdings and the sort of village amenities - pub, shop, village hall - that sustain a close‑knit community and a steady programme of local events.
The village is best known for its large medieval parish church, dedicated to Saints Probus and Grace, whose impressive tower and historic fabric hint at Probus’s long past; scattered historic houses and remnants of old manorial and agricultural activity underline its traditional Cornish roots. Today Probus combines that heritage with a quietly agricultural local economy and active community life.
