Life

Saint Enodoc, originally called Wenedoc, is a saint of Cornwall from the period after Roman rule, around the year 520 (Orthodox England calls him a saint of Wales). His name was misunderstood in the sixteenth century as a woman's name. His feast was kept at Bodmin Priory on 7 March. Saint Enodoc's Church at Trebetherick bears his name, and the poet John Betjeman is buried in its churchyard. He is venerated as a saint of the undivided Church and is commemorated on 7 March (new calendar).
