St Anthony Church
The first document mentioning St Anthony church is from around 1170 when it was owned by the priory of Tywardreath, near St Austell. It is said to have been built by shipwrecked Normans who settled on the mouth of the Helford River. The current building dates from the 13th Century with additions in the 14th Century and a re-roofing in the 15th Century, from which one of the bells in the tower also dates. A restoration was carried out in 1890 which was one of the more careful, preserving many of the mediaeval features.
