St Dominic (

Callington and five miles (8 km) north of Saltash.[1]

St Dominick is the historic spelling but this is gradually changing to drop the letter K.[2] It is still spelt with the K on Ordnance Survey mapping,[1] and in the name of an electoral division, St Dominick, Harrowbarrow and Kelly Bray, but Cornwall Council spells the parish name without the K.[3]

St Dominic parish is bounded by

Hundred of East. The parish is also in the Registration District of St Germans (however, historic birth and death registers are in Liskeard and marriage registers in St Germans). The population of the parish was 833 in the 2001 census.[2]
This included Bohetherick but had decreased slightly to 799 at the 2011 census.

The parish church is dedicated to St Dominica and has two aisles. The south aisle is the earlier of the two; the tower (of the 13th century) is of an unusual design.

St. Dominic was added in 1963 by the Bishop of Truro.[5] St Dominic Parish Council has ten councillors and meets monthly in the village hall. The council members are sole trustees of the village hall[3]
