Veep

Saint Veep (also known as Veepus, Veepy, Wimp or Wennapa) is the Cornish saint for whom the village and parish of St Veep are named. The saint lived, it seems, in the sixth century. In records Veep appears inconsistently as male or female, and this uncertainty suggests that the name became more a place-⁠name than that of a saint with an active cult. Veep may have been a daughter of King Brychan of Brycheiniog, called in the Welsh records Wennap (Wennapa, Gwennap) or Weneu.

The feast is on 1 July, the day on which the saint is also commemorated in the Orthodox calendar, as a saint of the West before the Great Schism (a saint of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.
