DULOE— ST. ENODER Dupath (id m. E. of Callington) is one of the best preserved and most interesting of Cornish holy wells; unhappily, its surroundings are not the nicest. It is a little granite baptistery and oratory, with bath for immersion; probably not earlier than the twelfth or thirteenth century. Egloshayle. (See Wadebridge.) Egloskerry (4 m. N.W. of Launceston) can boast of having contained the fine manor of Penheal, under which name the parish was taxed in Domesday. The old house is still magnificent. The name Egloskerry may mean the church of Keri, one of the many children of Brychan ; or the " kerry " may be a corrup- tion of Cyriacus. But the church appears to have been dedicated to SS.

Landelian is the " Church of Delian " ; Delian is a form, perhaps a misreading, of Deliau ; Deliau is the Welsh Teilo. Thus, strange though it seems at first glance, the Cornish Endellion may be exactly the same as the Welsh Llandilo. But there was a St. Elian whose claim may be better still. The church here dates from Henry VI., and is interesting. Three sinecure prebends were formerly attached to it. St. Eiioder {zh. m. S. of St. Columb Road Station) has a restored church, the nave early Dec. There is an uncertainty about the name, G 97
