St Keverne was, in the Middle Ages, the site of an important monastery. The church is dedicated to St Akeveranus, although for a considerable period this was corrupted to Kieran; the form Keverne was revived at the Reformation.
The church is very large for a village church and in its present form is 15th-century: however parts of the stonework appear to have been reused from a previous church building.
Unusually for Cornwall, the tower is topped by a spire.
The village is also famous for the Cornish nationalist Michael Joseph "An Gof" - The Smith who along with Thomas Flamank a Bodmin lawyer raised and army and marched on London and Henry VII.
The Cornish army was defeated at Royalist forces at the Battle of Blackheath Flamank and Joseph were executed.
An Gof is often regarded as the Cornish Braveheart.

The original Mini was designed by Sir Alec Issigonis. and developed under internal product code ADO 15, at the height of the Suez crisis, fuel had become rationed in the UK and sales of larger cars had slumped dramatically.giving rise to the bubble car. Leonard Lord, head at BMC laid down a criteria for a small, as a proper car in miniature The team that designed the Mini was remarkably small: as well as Issigonis, there was Jack Daniels (who had worked with him on the Morris Minor), Chris Kingham (who had been with him at Alvis), two engineering students and four draughtsmen. By October 1957 they had produced their first prototype.
The Mini was launched in April 1959, and remained visually simular until the last one rolled of the production line on 4th October 2000, the total production being 5,387,862.
The Mark I was originally sold as two separate models the Morris Mini Minor and Austin Seven. The Morris name Mini (Mini-Minor) was first used for Austin's version by BMC in 1961 when the Austin Seven was rebranded as the Austin Mini.
In 1964 the Alex Moulton designed suspension was replaced by a second Moulton design his Hydrolastic system, the newer suspension giving a less harsh ride but increased costs. In 1971, the original rubber suspension reappeared and was retained for the remaining life of the Mini.
At first Mark I sales were slow, but took of in the 1960's not least helped by the little cars sporting achievements.
