St. Gluvias Church Records
The parish church was dedicated July 25, 1318 to St. Gluvias,
the martyr. Gluvias was a Welshman on a mission to his fellow Celts in the sixth
century. It is presumed that after his death his converts raised a wooden
structure over his grave. His feast day is May 3rd.
No poor law documents have survived for this parish.
St. Gluvias fees in 1826.
