St Endellion (Cornish: Sen Endelyn) is a civil parish and village in north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village and parish church are situated four miles (6.5 km) north of Wadebridge.^[1]

The parish takes its name from Saint Endelienta, who is said to have evangelized the district in the fifth century and to have been one of the children of King Brychan. Two wells near the village are named after her.

St Endellion Church

The parish church of St Endelienta stands beside the road to Wadebridge and is a large building of the 15th century in Perpendicular style. It contains some fine examples of carving in stone and wood. From an unknown date in the 13th century it has been a collegiate church with four prebends. It somehow escaped abolition in 1545 and continues to the present day. (One of the prebendaries is the Rector and the others usually incumbents of nearby parishes.) A new ecclesiastical parish at Port Isaac was created out of this parish in 1913.^[3]
