The parish church is dedicated to St Mauganus, a Welshman, and he is also honoured at Mawgan in Pydar and in Wales and Brittany. The church is a fine building of the 14th century which was enlarged in the 15th by the addition of the south aisle and the tower. Features of interest are a Carminow tomb of the 13th century, the Vyvyan monuments, the squint and the wagon roof. In earlier times there were other chapels in the parish, at Carminow and at Trelowarren.

The name of the manor was given as Saint Mawnan in Domesday Book.
