 In 1851 the parish was created from parts of Duloe, Lanreath, and St Pinnock parishes and the Church of All Saints was built high on the hillside in 1850 by the architect John Hayward of Exeter —described by John Betjeman as 'big boned and stately'.The Church is a substantial building, buttressed all round under a very high pitched, slate roof and a turret at the Western end hung with a single bell.The font is of 14th century workmanship and was brought here from the ruined chapel of St Martin at Respryn in St Winnow.
