Cardinham is a village and civil parish in the North Cornwall district of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom, about 8 miles north east of Bodmin. (The spelling 'Cardynham' is almost obsolete.)
The parish church is dedicated to St Meubred: it has north and south aisles and a tower of granite. The chancel suffered bomb damage in World War II. Two freestanding Celtic crosses of stone, bearing inscriptions in Latin have been found in Cardinham; both had been imbedded in the walls of the fifteenth-century church and were moved after their discovery to the churchyard. One has been dated to the fifth to eighth centuries, the other to the tenth or eleventh centuries: [1] Langdon (1896) also records five other stone crosses in the parish. In the church is the brass of Thomas Awmarle, rector of Cardinham, d. 1401?[2]
Large areas which were once deciduous woodland are now plantations of conifers known as Cardinham Woods and managed by the Forestry Commission. Edmund John Glynn, of Glynn in the parish, rebuilt the house at Glynn in 1805 (it has a front of nine bays and a portico)[3]. Cassie Patten, the British Olympic swimmer, was born at Cardinham.
