The Clock Tower, St Teath
St Teath (
/ˌsɪntˈtɛθ/; Cornish: Eglostedha) is civil parish and village in north Cornwall, United Kingdom. The village is situated approximately three miles (5 km) southwest of Camelford and seven miles (11 km) northeast of Wadebridge[1]. The hamlet of Whitewell lies to the west.
The church is dedicated to Saint Tethe who was one of the twenty-four children of St Brychan, a 4th century Welsh saint and king. The church was a Norman foundation but was rebuilt in the 15th century. It is large, with a nave and two aisles. The lower part of the tower is Norman.[2] The church was collegiate until 1545 when the two prebends were abolished.[3]
