Very popular church this one as I was one of about a dozen people to be visiting it at the same time. I guess a nearby museum also helps with visitor numbers here. Lovely little church. Quite dark inside. The earliest record of a building here was in 1150. However the circular graveyard would suggest it was an Iron Age site. There is speculation that there was a small Celtic church on the site in the 6th Century AD.

Parts of the church are Norman with additions (North aisle) in 1450. The whole church was restored in 1890. Most notable artifact in the church is the Mermaid Chair, whose carved end are said to be over 500 years old. They are linked to the story of chorister, Matthew Trewhella who is said to have been lured into the sea by a mermaid at Pendour Cove.
