context_page_description: St Tudy is a civil parish and village in north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village is situated in the River Camel valley approximately five miles northeast of Wadebridge.
  The village is mentioned as having a cattle fair in Owen's book of fairs 1788.
context_section_description: There was formerly a manor house at Tinten and the chapel may still be recognised. It has been reused as a barn and has a 15th-century window. Other small former manor houses in the parish are Hengar, which was destroyed by a fire in 1904 (in 1906 it was rebuilt in Elizabethan style); Lamellen, Tremeer and Wetherham Lamellen has a garden with some very large rhododendrons and cryptomerias. Between 1941 and 1962 the garden became very overgrown but after 1962 a programme of reclamation began. The garden is full of interesting plants such as Stewartia pseudocamellia, Magnolia campbellii and Rhododendron malayanum.
  Another notable garden is the garden of Tremeer which is full of rhododendrons and camellias. There are fifty colourful, evergreen Kurume hybrid azaleas sent to Cornwall from Yokohama and planted in the lawn by Major General Harrison. Behind the house is a plantation of camellia varieties. Harrison has produced several varieties of rhododendron from Rhododendron impeditum and R. augustinii; these were given local names 'St Tudy', 'St Breward', 'St Merryn' and 'St Minver'. The paths through the rhododendrons lead to a pond at the far end of the garden. Other notable plants in the garden are a Camellia 'Donation' and a Magnolia x veitchii.
  One of the most well-known of Thomas Rowlandson's paintings is "Hengar House the seat of Matthw Mitchell [sic] Esqr., Cornwall" (1812) which was sold at the Sir Richard Onslow sale, Sotheby's, 15 July 1959. Hengar was a country seat of the Onslows.
  Edward Byllynge was a colonial administrator and governor of West New Jersey from 1680 to 1687, until his death in England. Byllynge owned a large section of land in New Jersey with the Quakers. He was born at Hengar.
