Background
History
The manor of Cargoll included St Allen and it was in the possession of the bishops of Exeter from 1269 (the manor house was at Lanner). From 1287 the patrons of the living were the canons of Glasney College). St Allen parish church was built in the Norman period but enlarged by the addition of the south aisle in the 15th century (the dedication is to St Alunus). Little is known of this saint but he has been identified with the Breton bishop Alan of Quimper who came from Wales. The 1881 English Census indicates that John Noon Munford was the Rector and living in the Rectory with his wife and two children and two servants.
