St Veep Parish Church, originally dedicated to Saint Veep
In records Veep 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." as may be the reason for the change in dedication to the parish church of St Veep.
Veep may have been a daughter of King Brychan of Brycheiniog who is called Wennap (also Wennapa, Gwennap) or Weneu in Welsh records. Veep's feast day is 1 July.
