ST. ENODER is a parish 2½ miles south-south-west from St. Columb Road station on the Newquay branch and 5 north from Grampound Road station on the Great Western railway, 7 north-by-east from Truro and 5 south-south-west from St. Columb: the parish is in the Northern division of the county, and in the hundred and petty sessional division of Pydar, county court district of Newquay and rural district of St. Austell, rural deanery of Pydar, archdeaconry of Cornwall and diocese of Truro. The river Gannel rises in this parish, which also affords the chief source of the river Fal. The church of St. Enoder is an ancient building of granite in the Early Decorated and Perpendicular styles, consisting of chancel with aisles, nave of four bays, aisles, north transept, south porch and an embattled western tower, with pinnacles, containing 8 bells: the tower was partly rebuilt in 1686: there is a Norman font and some good bench ends: there are monuments to Dorothy (Arundell), wife of Anthony Tanner, gent. ob. 1634; to Anthony Tanner, ob. 1742, erected by George Penwarne; to John Freseyse, yeoman, 16-6, and a number of modern date: at the east end is a memorial window erected by the parishioners, to the Rev. Samuel M. Walker, rector from 1828: a new organ was provided in 1896 at a cost of £250, in memory of the Rev. Jefferys Wilkins Murray M.A. rector from 1874-83: the church was thoroughly restored in 1870, the interior being refitted and three new windows added: there are sittings for 600 persons. The register dates from the year 1571. The living is a rectory, net income £378, including 20 acres of glebe, with residence, in the gift of the Bishop of Truro, and held since 1925 by the Rev. John Ley Kempthorne A.K.C.L. who is a surrogate: the living is endowed with the great tithes of three fields only: the impropriate tithes amount to £463 yearly. There are Methodist chapels at Summercourt, Fraddon and Mitchell. In the parish are china clay works . Carvinick House, built by Anthony and Grace Tanner, in 1699, is now occupied as a farmhouse. The principal landowners are Viscount Falmouth, Capt. L.W. Bennet, the trustees of the late H. H. Williams esq. and Mrs. Trevor Carus-Wilson. The soil is loamy; subsoil, clay and spar. The chief crops are wheat, barley, oats, mangolds and potatoes. The area is 6,920 acres of land and inland water; the population in 1931 was 1,525 in the civil and 1,607 in the ecclesiastical parish
By the Cornwall Review Order, 1934, parts of this parish were transferred to the parishes of Ladock and Newlyn.

MITCHELL, or St. Mitchell, formerly an ancient Parliamentary borough, is on the high road from Truro to St. Columb, 2½ miles south-west from the parish church, 2 south-east from Newlyn and 7 north-north-east from Truro: it is said to have been a town of considerable importance in the time of the Saxons, but has now dwindled down to a small village: the borough returned two members to Parliament from the 6th year of Edward VI. (1552), until it was disfranchised by the Reform Act of 1832. It was never incorporated, but was governed by a portreeve, annually elected by a jury at the court leet of the high lord. Among the parliamentary representatives of this borough may be named Richard Carew, the Cornish historian, Sir Walter Raleigh and Colonel Clive. The manor of Mitchell was, in the time of Edward I. the property of Walter de Raleigh, whose son Peter sold it to Ralph de Arundell. John de Arundell, in the year 1301, certified his right to a market or fair on his manor called “Modeshole” which appears to have been allowed in the same manner as it had been previously granted to his predecessor, Walter de Raleigh. There was formerly an ancient chapel here dedicated to St. Francis. Two fairs are held on the third Monday in May and the 15th of October for cattle and sheep.
By the Cornwall Review Order, 1934, Mitchell was transferred to the parish of Newlyn.
