Helland (Cornish: Hellann) is a civil parish and village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated 2 1⁄2 miles (4.0 km) north of Bodmin. The meaning of the name Helland is unclear: it is possible that the origin is in Cornish hen & lan (i.e. old church). The original dedication of the church is unknown but St Helena is now recognised as the patron.
The village is referred to in the Domesday Book as Henland. It was only valued at 10 shillings and only five households are recorded, with one virgate of arable land, 4 acres (16,000 m2) of woodland and 20 of pasture.
Grade II listed Helland Bridge, built in the early 15th century crosses over the River Camel here.
Lancarffe is a house probably built in the 17th century which is a Grade II* listed building (at Grid ref. SX0825268948).
The parish has 2,483 acres (10.05 km2) of land.
The parish church is dedicated to St Helena, who was the mother of Constantine I. The church comprises a chancel, nave and south aisle. The tower has a pyramidal roof and had a single bell. The church is pre-Norman in origin but the oldest stonework is probably of the 13th century; however in the mid 17th century the tower became ruinous and has not been entirely rebuilt. The name of St Sinney was attached to a tenement on the southern border of the parish; the Giffards were in medieval times the patrons of the rectory and resident not far from the church.
Helland is a Norwegian surname which may refer to:
The Helland family from Bø in Telemark is a Norwegian dynasty of Hardanger fiddle makers who made the most significant and important contribution to the development of the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle tradition. The celebrated Norwegian fiddler Ole Bull played on Helland fiddles.
During nearly 200 years and four generations the family counted 14 fiddle makers, many of them among the most important in the fiddle-maker tradition in Norway. It may well be the largest fiddle maker family in history.
Olav Gunnarson Helland settled in Notodden, Telemark, Norway in 1896 and established a Hardanger fiddle workshop. His fiddles are considered among the finest within the tradition.
Knut Gunnarsson Helland and Gunnar Gunnarsson Helland emigrated to US in 1901 and settled in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin where they became well known ski jumpers. They opened a fiddle workshop, "Helland Brothers" together. Knut died in 1920 and his brother Gunnar continued the business until 1927.
