CORNWALL 1727, and held of the Register of the Con- sistory Court of Exeter, as Witness my hand this 2 1 St day of July, 1762, Jacob Bullock, Vicar." In this neighbourhood is the famous Zennor Cromlech or Quoit. The slab covering its kistvaen has slipped from its support at one end, and rests upon the ground. Its length is 18 ft.; breadth, 9.', ft. The cromlech is one of the finest specimens to be seen anywhere in Britain. Near also is an excellent logan-stone ; the district is indeed strewn thickly with natural and antiquarian curiosities. Traditionary lore is also plentiful. The people of the parish were supposed to enjoy magic gifts, and were known as the " Zennor charmers ". In a very different connection, owing to its apparent barrenness, Zennor was known as the place " where the cow ate the bell-rope " — the in- ference being that there was nothing else for her to eat. 268
