[4] Arable farming in the parish includes early potatoes, broccoli and daffodils[citation needed].

Budock Water village has a public house called the Trelowarren Arms (known as the Trelly) and there is also a hotel in the parish (Penmorvah Manor) which has a restaurant that is open to non-residents.

The Penmorvah was also known as a popular night club called "Manderley" and is opposite Penjerrick Garden which is open to the public on certain days of the week.

[5] The historical name for the village of Budock Water was recorded as Roseglos in 1634 and Eglos-Rose in 1749, from the Cornish language ros (heathland) and eglos (church).

[1] The earliest recorded rector of Budock was in 1207, although it is believed that the link to Budoc, a Celtic saint, dates back to 470 AD.

The church contains a monumental brass to John III Killigrew (d.1567) of Arwennack,[8] Falmouth, the first Governor of Pendennis Castle and his wife Elizabeth Trewennard.

Declining congregations eventually resulted in this chapel being closed and sold, and that building was used as a meadery restaurant and is now a carvery.

The Crag, Maenporth, was a house built by Alfred Waterhouse in 1865 incorporating some Cornish elements: subsequently a hotel,[10] it burnt down in 1981.
