St Juliot, (Cornish: Sen Julet), is situated in the Deanery of Trigg Major and the Hundred of Lesnewth. The parish is located on the north Cornwall coast; it is bounded on the north by St Gennys, on the east by Otterham, on the south by Davidstow and Lesnewth, and on the west by Minster, Forrabury and the Bristol Channel. The Valency river runs westwards through a steep valley in this parish to emerge at Boscastle. The church, dedicated to St Julitta, was the meeting place of the writer Thomas Hardy and his first wife - Emma Gifford. The parish was the inspiration for Endelstow in 'A Pair of Blue Eyes'.
The villages of the parish are: Beeney and Tresparrett.

- Anglican. The parish church is located in OS Grid Square SX1219 and was dedicated to St Julitta (Juliot, Julyot, Juletta). She is said to have suffered death, having nbeen accused by a violent and wicked person who had previously taken from her by force some large possession. She is commemorated in the ancient Roman Calendar on the 30th of July.
The church comprises a chancel, nave, south aisle and north transept. The chancel is separated from the nave by carved fragments of the screen. The arcade is composed of five four-centred arches of granite supported on monolith pillars of the same material. The south porch, which is strongly built of granite ashlar, is in the form of a small square tower finished with battlements. Because of dilapidation, the church was closed in 1868 for reconstruction. Of the original church, only the original 15th century south aisle (now forming the nave and chancel) survived the restoration; its sturdy oak Cornish wagon roof made to seem out of place against the plain pine pews and pine roof of the restored section. The tower is of three stages, and contained five bells. - Non-Conformist. There was a Bible Christian chapel at Tresparrett.
