Saint Veep

Who is Saint Veep?

Saint Veep is the Cornish saint to whom the village of St Veep is dedicated. In records the saint appears inconsistently as male or female; the "unusual degree of confusion about the saint's gender suggests that, by the later middle ages, the name was largely that of a place-name rather than a saint with an active cult." Veep may be the daughter of King Brychan of Brycheiniog who is called Wennap or Weneu in Welsh records.

His or her feast day is celebrated on July 1.
