Order in Council obtained in January 1846 and the church being built in 1850; part of Wendron assigned to it was that part lying north of the Penryn road, speaking roughly, from Releath through Porkellis as far as Halwyn, the boundary thence being the lane on the right, probably an old pack horse track, south east to Polangrain; Mr Bull was the first incumbent, and Mr Broadley when the church was built; the parish of Pencoys was taken out of Carnmenellis in 1881, and in 1919 a Committee appointed by the Bishop of Truro recommended that Pencoys and Carnmenellis be held in plurality by the then Vicar of Pencoys, the Reverend W R Ladd Canney; there is an ancient cross in the Churchyard.
