Tudy Trivia!

Speaking of pirates (again! I just love the Pirates of the Caribbean movies!), have you heard of the book Mutiny on the Bounty by Charles Nordhoff and James Hall? Tho not strictly about pirates, it IS about a mutiny! It's the book that created the legendary Captain Bligh! But did you know that there was a real Captain William Bligh and that he was born in Tinten, in a village called...
St. Tudy!!

So that got me to reading even more...

The quaint village of St. Tudy is in North Cornwall, in the United Kingdom...
AND, there's another pretty town on the northern tip of the Brittany region of France called L’Ile Tudy!!!
I think both these places are named after a monk and missionary from Brittany, France named St. Tudy!
BUT there's a church in Dyfed, Wales, named after another St. Tudy, who was a Welsh girl!

Have any of you ever visited these places? Or do any of you live there?
