It was also at times called Minster in English because it must once have had a Celtic monastery. "St Manacca" is recorded as the patron saint as early as 1308.The population of Manaccan was 321 in the 2011 census, an increase from 299 in the 2001 census.Manaccan lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
