History
The church dates from the 12th century, with a 14th-century tower. The six bay south aisle and possibly also the south porch were added in the 15th century.
In 1860 the church was re-roofed.{{cite news |author= |title=Lanteglos and Advent |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000180/18600413/025/0005 |newspaper=Royal Cornwall Gazette |location=England |date=13 April 1860 |access-date=11 May 2019 |via=British Newspaper Archive }}
It was restored in a heavy-handed manner by James Piers St Aubyn starting in 1865.{{cite news |author= |title=To Contractors and Builders |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000229/18650512/061/0001 |newspaper=Exeter and Plymouth Gazette |location=England |date=12 May 1865 |access-date=11 May 2019 |via=British Newspaper Archive }} Restoration of the nave and south aisle by Messrs Westlake and Cann were completed by August 1867 such that the church could be reopened{{cite news |author= |title=Church Restoration in Cornwall |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000180/18670808/035/0006 |newspaper=Royal Cornwall Gazette |location=England |date=8 August 1867 |access-date=11 May 2019 |via=British Newspaper Archive }} but further work was still ongoing.
Further restoration was done in 1873.
In 1870, one of the choristers, George Perry, aged 12, an inmate of the workhouse, was detected stealing half a crown ({{Inflation|UK|0.125|1870|r=2|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}){{Inflation-fn|UK|df=y}} from the offertory whilst “bearing the bag” in the church. He was remanded for a month.{{cite news |author= |title=West of England News |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000329/18700212/041/0002 |newspaper=Western Morning News |location=England |date=12 February 1870 |access-date=11 May 2019 |via=British Newspaper Archive }}

Churchyard crosses
File:The Victoria history of the county of Cornwall (1906) (14777326862).jpg
The church is noted for the four medieval wheel-headed crosses and an inscribed stone from the 10th century which reads AELSELD 7 GENERED WOHTE YSNE SYBSTEL FOR AELWYNEYS SOUL 7 FOR HEYSEL. This has been translated as Aelsel and Genere made this family stone or place of peace for Aelwine's soul and for themselves or Heysel. Discovered at Castle Goff Farm in 1858, it was relocated here in 1900 and is now a scheduled monument.{{National Heritage List for England| num=1018207 |desc=The Castle Goff Stone and Valley Truckle Cross in St Julitta’s Churchyard |accessdate=11 May 2019}} The Anglo-Saxon inscription is hard to read: another version is "Aelselth ⁊ Genereth wohte thisne sybstel for Aelwines soul ⁊ for heysel" (Alseth and Generth wrought this personal memorial for Aelwine and for themselves).Beacham, Peter; Pevsner, Nikolaus (2014).
