I am not sure what you mean by registered. The marriage will be recorded in the parish register of the church where the marriage took place. The only difference to other entries will be that it will say "by licence" instead of "by banns". There was no Civil Registration until 1837. The application for the licence would be to the Diocesan office. Until 1876 Cornwall was in the diocese of Exeter. You might find the Bond & Allegation at Devon Heritage Centre if it survives. This is the form the applicant filled out swearing there was no impediment to the marriage and the agreement by another person to pay a fine if the declaration proved false. Normally, the declaration of banns three times before the marriage in the bride and groom's parishes allowed objections to be made. The licence was given to the applicant who passed it the cleric performing the marriage. A licence was expensive so usually people of higher status obtained them but soldiers and sailors often married by licence because they were unable to attend the reading of banns for the required 3 weeks prior to the marriage. The cathedral of Exeter dedicated to St Peter dates from 1050. Presumably Holy Trinity was the parish where the marriage you found took place.

On FamilySearch, I have found some at Holy Trinity, Exeter. Today, Holy Trinity is in Wonford, a suburb of Exeter, but was that the dedication of the Cathedral at the time? Today it seems to be St Peter's.
