The original church on this site was dedicated to St Dominicia on 19 October 1259. It comprises a chancel nave, and north and south aisles. The church has a octagonal granite font. The tower is remarkable for its overhanging top resting on a corbel table. The lower part of the tower is 13th century with the new overhanging top being added in the 15th century. In the church is a large tomb with fine figures of Sir Anthony Rous and his son Ambrose. Sir Anthony was Sheriff of Cornwall and Ambrose was MP in Charles Stuart's day. There are some very nice stained glass windows at the east end of the church.
