It is the most southerly church in mainland Britain and is situated approximately ten miles (16 km) south of Helston.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 203 ''Land's End'' ISBN 978-0-319-23148-7〕 The church is dedicated to St Winwaloe and is Church of England. It was founded about 600 AD and the oldest part of the current building is the twelfth century Norman doorway.〔Nikolaus Pevsner (1951) ''The Buildings of England: Cornwall''. Harmondsworth: Penguin〕 The church was restored in the thirteenth century when the porch was added and in the fifteenth century with a new window in the tower. It is now a Grade I listed building. The last Cornish language sermon was preached here in 1674〔"the church in which the last sermon in the Cornish language was preached «not long before the year 1678» (Borlase)." Ward, C. S. & Baddeley, M. J. B. (1908) ''South Devon ... and South Cornwall ...''; 7th ed. London: Nelson; p. 187〕 though this claim has also been made for the churches of Towednack and Ludgvan.
