All the lands in this parish lie within the great duchy, lordship, and manor of Helston in Kerrier, as it is named for distinction from Helston in Trigg. The church is certainly called Wendron, from its female patroness. Bodilly I interpret the house by the church, from ilis, the same as eglis, a church, from which it is not far distant.
