==History==
St Enoder is apparently named after an unknown saint though the oldest form of the name is "Heglosenuder" in Domesday Book. The next mention of St Enoder appears to be as "Sancti Enodri" (gen.) in 1271<ref>Ekwall, E. (1940) ''The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place-names''; 2nd ed. Oxford: Clarendon Press; p. 381</ref> and "Eglos Enoder" occurs in 1416 (this is interpreted by [[Craig Weatherhill]] as "St Enoder's church").<ref>Weatherhill, Craig (2009).

The church and manor of St Enoder belonged in Anglo-Saxon times to the [[Bodmin Monastery|monks of Bodmin]] and were before 1066 held by Godric. In 1086 they were held by Robert, Count of Mortain, from the monks; there was one hide of land, land for 6 ploughs and 20 acres of pasture. At a later date St Enoder fell into lay hands and c. 1268 was given to [[Glasney College]]. The benefice was appropriated to Glasney College in 1270 and the cure of souls became a vicarage; however in 1867 it was made into a rectory as the incumbent was receiving the tithes of certain meadows formerly the yards of chapels.<ref>''The Cornish Church Guide'' (1925) Truro: Blackford; p. 91</ref><ref>Thorn, C., et al., eds.
