The church of St Agnes was a chapelry to Perranzabuloe until 1846. (2)
The 15th century building was heavily restored in 1848 with the exception of the tower and its spire. (3)
A few years before Henderson's death (died 1934) the pier bases of the 1482 church were discovered beneath the floor and these rested on the foundations of an earlier church, thought to be the original Celtic foundation. One base may be seen below a trapdoor to the south side near the west end of the church. (4,5)
