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).
