 The present structure dates from a major reconstruction around 1870 but parts of the original church dated back to Norman times and the church still has a Norman north door.There were also Wesleyan Methodist and Primitive Methodist chapels in Mylor parish.A mummers play text which had, until recently, been attributed to Mylor (much quoted in early studies of folk plays, such as "The Mummers Play" by R. J. E. Tiddy – published posthumously in 1923 – and "The English Folk-Play" (1933) by E. K. Chambers) has now been shown, by genealogical and other research, to have originated in Truro, around 1780.
