Churches
There are two Anglican churches: the 13th Century Church of St Mawnan and St Stephen in Mawnan Church and the 19th century Church of St Michael in Mawnan Smith village.
John Rogers was rector here in 1807.
The land for St Michael's Church was given by the Rogers family of Carwinion and the building was completed in 1874.
The village of Mawnan Smith also has a Methodist chapel. There is a Catholic church dedicated to St Edward the Confessor in Old Church Road, which was completed in 1965.
