The historic records for much of this area were kept at Mount Edgcumbe House but were destroyed during the war. A church existed here in 1080, if not earlier and the present Church was built in about 1150. The Church was at various times dedicated to St. John the Evangelist and St. John the Baptist, but at some time after 1912 the dedication was changed to St. John the Baptist.
St. John belonged to the Abbey of Tavistock and was leased by the Dawney family in the thirteenth century. The Church still retains its Norman plan of a chancel, nave and low west tower. The tower is twelfth century but may have been rebuilt in the fourteenth century.
