The church and manor of St Enoder belonged in Anglo-Saxon times to the monks of Bodmin and were before 1066 held by Godric. In 1086 they were held by Robert, Count of Mortain, from the monks. At a later date St Enoder fell into lay hands and c. 1268 was given to Glasney College. The benefice was appropriated to Glasney College in 1270 and the cure of souls became a vicarage; however in 1867 it was made into a rectory as the incumbent was receiving the tithes of certain meadows formerly the yards of chapels.[3][4] In medieval times there was a chapel of St Mary (corrupted to St Michael) existed in the parish until it was destroyed in 1414.[5] At Mitchell a chapel of St Francis for the use of wayfarers existed from 1239 until its destruction at the Reformation.[6] The parish church is 15th century though the tower had to be rebuilt after collapsing in 1684: the date of rebuilding is 1711. The arcades of the two aisles are of different designs. The font is Norman.[7]
St Enoder was the birthplace of John Trevisa.
