History

The church was consecrated by the Lord Bishop of Exeter on 16 May 1854. Enlargement and restoration were undertaken in the 1890s. The chancel and vestry were completed in 1897 and the nave, aisle and porch were restored in 1899. A baptistry was added with a carved oak screen on two sides to give thanks for the first confirmation service held in the church on 9 December 1898. It was refitted between 1896 and 1934 by Canon James Sims Carah, vicar for 39 years. The pulpit was installed in 1901 by Hancock of Bodmin. He designed the new screen, installed in 1925, which was constructed and carved by J.B. Hunt of Plymouth.
