An 18th-century churchwardens’ account mentions that sand had to be regularly removed from the churchyard. In 1870/71 the church underwent a restoration and had a new roof was re-roofed with the chancel extended east by two feet. Some windows were also replaced at this point. The Church is named after a popular=r Breton Saint.

The cove lies on the South West Coastal path which is managed by the National Trust in Cornwall.  The area is within the designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) which means it has the same protection as a National Park.
