Tregidden

Tregidden (Cornish : Tregudyn) [1] is a hamlet [2] south of Manaccan in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. A little further south is Tregidden Farm. [3] Tregidden is located in the parish of St Martin-in-Meneage and also partly in the parishes of Manaccan and St Keverne.

In 1839 Tregidden Bible Christian Church was established in a former Baptist chapel. It had closed by c1901. [4]

Tregidden Mill, referred to in 1888 as a corn mill, [5] was first recorded in 1250, and the current 19th century mill building is Grade II listed. [6] There was also a separate fulling mill in the hamlet recorded in 1506. [7]

Tregidden Bridge is a Grade II listed structure, and spans the stream that marks the parish boundary between St Martin-in-Meneage and Manaccan parishes. [8] The road approaching the bridge from the south east is banked on its north side by a double-ditch earthwork which is a scheduled monument, [9] possibly constructed to guard the approach to the ford. [10] [11]

Tregidden lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
