Nestling close to Bodmin Moor in North Cornwall, lies the picturesque parish and village of St Tudy, which has a long and distinguished history. It has grown centred around the original Celtic graveyard (God's acre) now containing the beautiful Grade 1 listed parish church and interesting 'Clink' building to the north.
The village name is derived from Tudy a 6th Century monk and missionary strongly associated with the founding of monasteries and churches in Brittany.
The form of the village is nucleated with a spider's web of lanes radiating from the centre. The village contains a Methodist chapel, primary school, pub, original forge and thriving post office and stores. The village is surrounded by many small country houses including Tremeer, Lamellen, Wetherham and Tinten, reputed birthplace of Captain Bligh of Bounty fame.
The parish covers some 3,257 acres of undulating farmland with wooded area. Many cottages and houses built of local materials i.e. greenstone, granite and Delabole slate. Most important of all are the people of St Tudy who pull together in a way that has created a special community.

RETIRING WEBMASTER -LAWRENCE ROOKE
Lawrence has taken his leave as Webmaster of the St Tudy Village Web Site after ten years. It's no small measure of his enthusiasm, tenacity and hard work that the site was set up initially and continues to this day. The site is highly regarded worldwide and reflects what a special place St Tudy is and how privileged we are to live here. So thank you Lawrence - we hope to continue the good work which you started.
