The church and village is named after St Neot. He died circa 877 and was buried in the church. Around 974 Earl Alfric stole the remains and removed most of them to Eynesbury (now called St Neots) in Huntingdonshire.

St Hydroc is situated adjacent to Lanhydrock House, the major National Trust property in Cornwall. It contains the monuments and burials of the Estate families. It also has a fine alabaster reredos and a working peal of 8 bells. It dates from the 1400's and is the local parish church, with services every Sunday. The church is kept open for Lanhydrock House visitors, but does not belong to the National Trust.
St Petroc's church is the largest and one of the oldest parish churches in Cornwall.
Our church building is a real treat for the 'church crawler', beautifully sited, and full of interest.
