It was constituted in 1849; and its post town is Camborne, Cornwall. Pop., 2,012. Houses, 393. Penponds Bottom is crossed by a viaduct of the railway, and presents a pretty scene. The living is a p. curacy in the diocese of Exeter. Value, £150. Patron, alternately the Crown and the Bishop. The church is modern.
