Background
History
The church is in the Church of England Diocese of Truro and is dedicated to Saint Winwaloe. It is likely to have been standing since at least the 15th century due to its characteristic three hall church design, although some parts can be dated back to the 13th century, and one of the fonts is believed to be Norman. The church was used to film a wedding scene in The Lady of Pendower in 1934.
