St Michael's is a chapel in the parish of St Minver. When St Samson landed in the Camel estuary in the fifth century on his way to Brittany from Ireland he quite possibly came ashore here. However, nothing is known of a church building here before the present one of eleventh and twelfth century date. St Michael has always been dependant on St Minver. By the thirteenth century the parish of St. Minver was in the hands of Bodmin Priory, and it is possible that the farmhouses at the gate were a grange and rest house of the Priory. By 1284 these two farms, Porthilly Eglos and Porthilly Grey, had already been for some time in lay hands.
