History

The church was consecrated by the Lord Bishop of Exeter on 16 May 1854. [4]

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. [5]

It was refitted between 1896 and 1934 by Canon James Sims Carah, vicar for 39 years. [6] The pulpit was installed in 1901 by Hancock of Bodmin. [7] He designed the new screen, installed in 1925, which was constructed and carved by J.B. Hunt of Plymouth. [8]
