The church is of coursed granite with gothic detailing and Cornish slate roof. Built 1840-42, the church was integral to George Wightwick`s picturesque model enclave of Treslothan on the edge of former Pendarves family Mansion Park Estate. It has served pastorally and spiritually the large mining village of Troon for 170 years. It is the last church design of George Wightwick, although now reordered, it marks the cusp of the development of Tractarian and Camden Society influence.

The parish comprises the village of Troon with part of Beacon and outlying hamlets and lies on the edge of the Cornish Mining Heritage Site.
