The church, built in 1861, was dedicated to St Peter and rather remotely located north of Chiverton Cross at OS grid reference SW746471.

The eastern window is to the memory of the Reverend Alfred Lord who officiated in the parish from its beginning to his death in 1880.

[8] The church faced closure in 2008[9] and a planning application was lodged with Cornwall Council to convert the building to residential use.

In a local report the Reverend Alan Bashforth said: "The last service took place on Christmas Eve 2006 and although a small but loyal group tried to keep it going, building work costs in the region of £800,000 meant that was not possible.

[15] The Miners Arms Public House was constructed in the 17th century and stands in the centre of the village.
