[2] The church was paid for by William Tweedy who advanced the money interest free.

Finally the parish raised £1,100, to which the church commissioners added £1,000, which was invested to provide a stipend for the vicar of £66 15s 4d per annum (equivalent to £8,290 in 2023).

[2] The church was consecrated in on 26 November 1864[4] by the Bishop of Exeter, Henry Phillpotts, and given its own parish.

By 1880 the church was insufficient in size for its growing congregation, and a committee was formed to enlarge it with the addition of a chancel, north and south aisles.

A consecration service took place for the new chancel on 7 January 1884,[5] which had been built by Mr. W Bone of Liskeard for £3,000 (equivalent to £395,000 in 2023).
