Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!
Is St Enoder actually a village? It is certainly a parish, also probably classifies as a hamlet, but not a village I feel. Arghans (talk) 00:54, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Anyone? As the Online Parish Clerk (Genealogy) for the Parish - as well as a resident - I would classify St Enoder as Parish and Hamlet. Certainly not a village - that role is now filled by Summercourt

OK, unless someone objects before the end of August, I intend to change the entry to reflect St Enoder as being the Parish and hamlet, rather than village.
St Enoder is NOT a manor. There are several Manors in the Parish - e.g Arrallas, Goenrounsen, Chyverton etc etc - but St Enoder itself is not the Manor.
OK, leave the Manor reference - even if it is wrong.
I am not happy to have the religious supposition regarding the name of the Parish. In Cornish, Eglos y'n dowr means church in the water - and the church was indeed once set in a marshy freshwater lake (evidence provided by various freshwater snail shells found in the area)
So "y'n dowr" would sound very close to Enoder - and my belief is that the name is a slight corruption of the Cornish. The various Saints associated with the church appear to have been much later additions. Certainly, the Domesday book metions the parish as "Eglosneuder" - which is the Cornish name mutated slightly. As such, there seems to have been no Saint associated with the Parish in the late 11th Century.
