The church is situated on top of a hill overlooking the village and has views over Goss Moor to the sea at Newquay.
It is dedicated to St Denys and stands on the site of an Iron Age fort.
The tower is the oldest part of the church, and the newer church was almost destroyed by fire in 1985.
Although heartbreaking at the time, it has risen again from the ashes.
The new roof timbers were so large that they had to be lifted in by a Royal Navy Seaking helicopter.

The village also has a strong history of Methodism and at one stage there were three Methodist chapels in the village.
Of these three, Carne Hill is the only chapel which is still open to this day.

The churchyard cross has a head of horseshoe shape and is ornamented with some unusual incised ornament.
