Wadebridge, Cornwall, St. Petroc (C) at Egloshayle. Curiously, Pevsner has it as "St Conan (?)". This is perhaps because of the presence of St. Conan, a Mission Church, in Wadebridge, across the river. To add to this, the church notice board doesn't give a dedication. SX 000 719. Link1. Link2.

Weare Giffard, Devon, Holy Trinity. Previously (and for a long time) in the "Unknown" section. Roger Hopkins found a box of Victorian negatives, and the only clue to the whereabouts of the photos was one negative labelled "Moortown Church".
