Perranuthnoe is a parish and village standing on Mount's Bay.
Perranuthnoe's church is dedicated to Saint Piran and Saint Michael and was originally 13th Century in origin. The church underwent a rebuild in 1883 except for the tower which had been added in the Tudor period.
Perranuthnoe was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as having a value of 10 shillings and land for four ploughs. It had seven villagers and eight smallholders.
In the 19th century there were many mines within the parish including Trebarvah Mine, also known as Wheal Castle. This mine produced copper, iron, tin, lead and zinc. At the beginning of the 20th century, Perran Silver Mines produced 96 tons of silver ore between 1903-07, worth, at the time, £4347.
