The Parish Church is dedicated to St Nivet and is supposed to stand in the very centre of the Cornwall land mass. The present church dates from the 15th century; it comprises a chancel, nave, and north and south aisles. There is a south porch and a priest's door, both guarded with iron gates. The tower is of three stories, and contains six bells. The church was restored in 1864, during which some relics of a previous church were found worked into the walls. A record was found on the dedication of the high altar of a former church in 1338.
I took these two pictures in 1996 during a visit to Cornwall researching my Cornish ancestors.
