The church is dedicated to St Petroc. Petroc was a Welsh nobleman who established a monastery here in the 6th century and is credited with converting King Constantine to Christianity. That church was destroyed by Viking raiders in the 10th century. The present church dates from the 15th century although the base of the tower is of earlier origin.
