The church was originally dedicated to St Austol, a Breton saint associated with St Meven, but is now dedicated to the Holy Trinity. By 1150 it had been appropriated to the Priory of Tywardreath and this continued until 1535. The present 15th century church is faced in Pentewan stone and the tower can be dated to between 1478 and 1487 by the arms of Bishop Courtenay.
