St Tudy (Cornish: Eglostudi) is a civil parish and village in north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village is situated in the River Camel valley approximately five miles northeast of Wadebridge.[1]

The village is mentioned as having a cattle fair in Owen's book of fairs 1788.[2]

Notable houses

There was formerly a manor house at Tinten and the chapel may still be recognized. It has been reused as a barn and has a 15th-century window.[3] Other small former manor houses in the parish are Hengar, which was destroyed by a fire in 1904 (in 1906 it was rebuilt in Elizabethan style); Lamellen, Tremeer and Wetherham[4] One of the most well-known of Thomas Rowlandson's paintings is "Hengar House the seat of Matthw Mitchell [sic] Esqr., Cornwall" (1812) which was sold at the Sir Richard Onslow sale, Sotheby's, 15 July 1959.

Parish church

The parish church is dedicated to St Tudius and was restored in 1873. There was a Norman church here but the present structure is of the Perpendicular period. There are two aisles the arcades of which are identical.[5] The tower has three stages, is 64 feet high, and is topped with battlements and pinnacles; there are five bells.[6] It is Grade I listed.[7] Anthony Nicholl (died 1658) is commemorated by a sumptuous memorial erected by his wife.[8] In the churchyard is a pre-Norman coped stone with carving, possibly a rare hogback tomb. [9][10]
