The name 'Lanner' originates from Lannergh, meaning 'a clearing' in the Cornish language; it has also been well-known as 'Lannarth'. The parish sprawls up the long slopes of a wide valley and is shielded by hills. It is a former tin and copper mining parish south-east of Redruth on the main road to Penryn which had grown rapidly in the 19th century; at the beginning of that century it only had 6 cottages. In the 13th century the Bishop of Exeter enclosed some woodland here to create a deer park. There is a disused quarry at Carn Marth.
Today most residents work in nearby towns, and local disused industrial sites have been tranformed into local assets such as walkways and playing fields.
Lanner was created as an ecclesiastical parish from part of the civil parish of Gwennap in 1844. Tresavean is a village in Lanner parish.
Most parish and church description(s) on these pages are from Lake's Parochial History of the County of Cornwall by J Polsue (Truro, 1867 - 1873)
