• Anglican. The parish church is located in OS Grid Square SX0759 was said to have been dedicated to Saints Manaccus and Dunstan; it is now dedicated to St Bryvyth (Brevita). The present church was built in the 14th century and consists of a nave, an aisle and north and west transepts, the latter being the tower housing the peal of eight bells, the heaviest of which is the tenor bell at just under eighteen hundredweight. The tower, at 97 feet in height, is considered the third highest church tower in Cornwall. Visible from well out at sea in the St. Austell Bay area, it is believed, at one period in its history, to have been used as a Landmark by ships plying the coastal waters. There is a south porch, a transept door and, in the north wall, a blocked priest's door. The arcades have each six four-centred arches, supported on monolith granite pillars.
  The restoration completed in 1993 was a major event in the history of the Parish Church. Its roof, the main cause for concern, has been completely renovated. Rotting timber roof trusses were replaced by modern replicas, roof slates were removed and renewed and lead valleys replaced. The exterior pointing of the tower was removed and redone. The interior walls were taken back to the granite and re-rendered During this process a small alcove was discovered in the north wall. It was empty with no indication as to its original purpose. It may have concealed a casket of revered remains in medieval times or possibly documentation connected with the original building of the church, and possibly later removed before replastering. A time capsule recording the restoration and contemporary documentation was placed in the cavity for the information of parishioners in the distant future.

In the May of 1641 it was agreed and ordered that every Member of the House of Commons and House of Lords should make a protestation (declaration of loyalty) to the crown. The Protestation was printed and then distributed by the Members to their counties. The Protestation was to be made by everyone and the Rectors, Churchwardens and Overseers of the Poor, had to appear before the Justices of the Peace in their Hundred to make their protestation and, on returning to their parishes, any two of them were to witness the taking of the Protestation Oath by all males over the age of 18 years. All names were listed and anyone who refused was to be noted.

The Protestation Returns of 1642 for Lanlivery are available on-line.
