Other settlements in the parish include Bolingey, Perrancoombe, Penwartha, Goonhavern, Lanhargy, Carnkief, Rose, Wheal Frances, Mount and Callestick.

Chiverton

Southwest of Zelah (St. Allen parish) but in Perranzabuloe parish is Chyverton House and its grounds. Nearby was a notable lead mine called West Chiverton Mine which produced 45,100 tons of lead ore in the period 1859–86. There were seven more less successful mines which also included "Chiverton" in their names. West Chiverton Mine had an 80 inch pumping engine; in 1870 it had a workforce of 1000 and a main shaft over 700 ft deep but the mine closed in 1886.
