Tresungers Farm

St Endellion church

The Church of England 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.

The earliest record of the church is in 1260, and in 1288 it is recorded as a collegiate church with four prebends; the date of their foundation is unknown. One of the prebends to which was attached the cure of souls came to be entitled to the rectory. It somehow escaped abolition in 1545 (when only the rector was resident) and continues to the present day: one of the prebendaries is the Rector, and the others usually incumbents of nearby parishes. The prebend of Marnay's or St Elen's is usually held by the incumbent of Lanhydrock. A new ecclesiastical parish of Port Isaac was created out of the parish in 1913 and one of the prebends became the endowment of that benefice, whose incumbent was a vicar.[6]

The church was designated as Grade I listed in 1969.[7]

Music festivals are held at Easter and at the end of July: they have been held in the summer since 1959 and at Easter since 1974.[8][9] Some of the musicians involved formed the Endellion Quartet.

• Florence Cameron: on 25 August 2010 it was announced that the British Prime Minister, David Cameron and his wife Samantha had named their newborn daughter "Florence Rose Endellion" after the village,[10] reflecting the fact she was born while the Cameron family were holidaying in Cornwall.[11][12]
• Dr Rowan Williams, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, was installed as a prebendary at St Endellion Church by the Bishop of Truro, the Right Reverend Tim Thornton, in 2014.[13]

St. Endellion is a brie style cheese, made at the hamlet of Trevarrian near Newquay, cream enriched and hand-made using only Cornish milk and cream. The cheese is made by Cornish Country Larder, a firm founded by John Gaylard in the mid-1990s and still a family-run concern. The cheese has won many notable awards.[14]
