St Hydroc
Lanhydrock, Cornwall
St Hydroc is situated adjacent to Lanhydrock House, the major National Trust property in Cornwall and it contains the monuments and burials of the Estate families.
The present church dates back to the between 1469 and 1472 although earlier churches existed on the same site back to 540AD when St Petroc and St Gerren founded an ecclesiastical settlement.
This is where the name Bodmin comes from, ‘Bos-Menegh’ in Cornish meaning ‘abode of monks’ and the church went on to play a central role in Bodmin’s history and development.
