One series of ten gives the symbols of the Passion and Crucifixion — the scourge, the wounds, the crown of thorns, the reed, sponge, spear, nails, dice, hammer and pincers ; also the chalice and wafer.

But the tourist season is not a long one, and at other times this region, poorly served by railways, is one of the loneliest in Cornwall.

At the Conquest there was a Saxon collegiate foundation here known 195
