A saint honored in Cornwall.
Life
Saint Enoder is a saint honoured in Cornwall and southern Wales, commemorated in the Orthodox calendar on 27 April under the further names Cynidr, Kenedr and Quidic.
According to Welsh tradition Enoder was one of the many children of King Brychan of Brycheiniog, and the medieval lists first call him Wenheden. His name survives in the parish and hamlet of Saint Enoder in Cornwall; Wikipedia distinguishes him from Saint Enodoc and gives his local feast as the last Thursday of April.
The Orthodox calendar identifies him with Saint Cynidr, the first bishop of Glasbury in Powys, in the sixth century. Cynidr is buried at Glasbury, where the church bears his name, and the village of Llangynidr and Kenderchurch in Herefordshire are named after him. He is said to have been the son of Saint Gwladys and a grandson of Brychan.
