The village of St. Tudy, Cornwall - a photo on Flickriver

            St Tudy Church is probably named after St Tudy or Tudic. It is more than likely that the cult of St Tudy reached Cornwall from Brittany, (where there are several similar names, Loc-Tudy for example). The present church of St. Tudy was enlarged in the late 15th and early 16th century; the first church here being just a nave and chancel. There is evidence of Norman work on the north side of the nave. Transepts were added in the 14th century; the southern transept being removed when that aisle was built. A 10th century coped stone (an early type of tombstone) now located within the church, was found in the churchyard and shows that this was an important early Christian site. St. Tudy is referred to in Liber Exoniensis (though not in the Domesday Book of 1086).
