The living is a perpetual curacy united to the vicarage of Breage, in the archdeaconry of Cornwall,, and diocese of Exeter. Here is a place of worship for Wesleyan Methodists. On the north side of the church-yard is a singular edifice, called St. Germoe's chairs, consisting of a stone seat divided into three parts by pillars in the Norman style, with pointed arches, and placed in a recess similarly decorated.
