A small lordship which takes its name from the parish, and in which
the church is situated, so that probably the churchyard and the glebe
were taken out of it by the gift of some former proprietor, although
the fact is now forgotten. The present lord of this manor is Martin
Lister Killigrew, Esq. an adopted heir to Sir Peter Killigrew.
The church is situated at the south-east end of the parish, near that
branch of Falmouth haven called Mylor pool. It is but a small
building, consisting of a nave, one aisle of the same length, with a
handsome north cross aisle, belonging to Carclew; and a little
distance from the west is a low square campanile covered with slate,
in which are three bells.
