There has been a church in Philleigh since the seventh century, today there is a thirteenth century tower with the rest of the building being a Victorian restoration of later additions. The village’s old name was in fact Eglos Ros, meaning Heath Church. The church, and subsequently the village, later adopted the name of the Parish saint St Filius. The hamlet is tucked away, with a highly regarded pub and a popular cookery school. The road through Philleigh used to be the old coach road running between London and Penzance which can be traced and seen on maps as early as 1685. This road then led to the River Fal crossings at the Tolverne Ferry and King Harry Ferry where ferry services have been provided since medieval times.
