Description: Saint Lide was an 8th-century Cornish hermit (some say also a bishop) who at some point in his life travelled to the (now uninhabited) island of St. Helen's, which is located in the archipelago of the Isles of Scilly. Once there, he built a chapel and subsequently lived out the rest of his life on the island.
As a result of his life and activities on the island, the island was eventually named after him: it is known as Enys Elidius in standard Cornish. The English name of the island is said to be a corruption of the saint's name.
