Menheniot (pronounced Men-en-yut;[clarification needed] Cornish: Mahynyet)[1] is a civil parish and village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

Accounts of four guilds associated with the church have been preserved: they relate to part of the reigns of Mary I and Elizabeth I.

As a valuable benefice several of the incumbents have been men of some distinction, including William Wykeham in 1365, Peter Courtenay, afterwards Bishop of Exeter, in 1477, and John Moreman, 1529-54.

[12] Dr Moreman was the author of a commentary on the epistle to the Romans and also the first to teach his people the Lord's prayer, creed and ten commandments in English.

Features of interest include the ceiled wagon roofs, the pulpit (1891 by Harry Hems of Exeter), which depicts the polar exploits of Vice-Admiral Charles Trelawny Jago and the earliest monumental brass in Cornwall (commemorating Sir Ralph Carmynow, d. 1386).

The black marble slab to L. Stephens (d. 1724) and the tablet to Lady Charlotte Carr (by M. Eames of Exeter) are also of interest.

Menheniot lies in a former mining area and is surrounded by disused shafts and engine houses.
