THE CHURCHES OF CORNWALL 123 sea-mark, had to be rebuilt, and now reaches to height of 70 ft. 9 in. The 15 th cent. N. doorway is also retained. Old octagonal 13th cent, font remains, but bad taste has provided a successor which is in use. (Registers, 1692.) St. Illogan. — Old church unhappily destroyed in 1846, and a successor built at some distance to N.W. of old site. The late 14th cent, two-staged tower of granite still stands in melancholy detach- ment. Brasses of James Bassett, 1603, with wife and 10 children, and some well-cut slate monuments were moved to new church, and also six 17th cent, carved panels to form a pulpit. The 14th cent, bowl of old font is in use, but retooled. (Registers, 1593.) St. Issey. — Church, consisting of chancel, nave, aisles, S. porch, and W. tower, rebuilt throughout in 1 87 1, including tower which fell in that year. Note fine W. doorway, carved stoup by S. entrance, sculptured Pieta in vestry, and especially beautiful reredos (recently pieced together from scattered fragments), all of Catacleuse stone and of c. 1400 date. Circular font, on round shaft and 4 small pillars, is late Norm. ; it bears churchwardens' initials and the date 1664, when it was restored to use after ejection by Puritans. Old church had a N. transept, and there were considerable remains of rood-screen. (Registers, 1 596.) St. Ive. — Chancel, nave, S. aisle, N. transept, S. porch, and W. tower. Evidently a cruciform church
