In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Crantock like this:

The property is divided among a few. Treago and Tregonell were old seats of respectively the Mynorses and the Tregonells. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Exeter. Value, £78. Patron, Lord Churston. The church belonged to a college, founded here, by the bishops of Bodmin, before the Conquest; and is good.
