Gwennap itself is steeped in local history with the church originally dedicated in 1225. It was rebuilt in the 15th century and thoroughly restored in the 19th century with the tower being detached from the main building. There is also the Trevince Estate with a large manor house. Situated in the heart of the copper tin mining area, it at one stage even had its own public house. Now just a quiet backwater, it has much history to show and gives easy access to Redruth, Falmouth, the city of Truro and bus services. Within half a mile there is also the famous Fox & Hounds public house.
