St Endellion is an ecclesiastical parish within the diocese of Truro. It lies in north Cornwall, England, in the United Kingdom. It takes its name from Saint Endelienta, one of the 24 children of Brychan who is said to have evangelized the district in the fifth century. Two wells near the church are associated with her. The parish church of St Endelienta is close to the B3314 from Delabole 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 from various periods. St Endellion is a collegiate church with four prebends, one of which is held by the rector of the parish and the others are held as honorary positions by senior clergy of the diocese. Despite formal abolition in 1548 the prebends were restored and continue to the present day. A new ecclesiastical parish at Port Isaac was created out of the parish in 1913. Both are within the civil parish of St Endellion.
