Gilbert, Blight, Lake, Maclean, Dunkin, Collins, Thurstan Peter, Langdon, &c.) have been consulted. One special book of recent origin must be named, Norman Architecture in Cornwall, by Mr. E. H. Sedding; it has proved helpful on several occasions. Some trouble has been taken to supply the correct dedication of each church; but variants sometimes occur in connection with re-dedications, and it has not been possible to spare a single paragraph for their discussion. On this subject Mr. W. Copeland Borlase's Age of the Saints (1895) should be consulted; see also Rev. S. Baring Gould's chapters in recent issues of the Journal of the Royal Institute of Cornwall. A variety of notes have also been excluded, for lack of space, dealing with the more important of the ruined chapels of the county; the best book on this subject is M. and L. Quiller-Couch's Ancient and Holy Wells of Cornwall (1894).
My sincere thanks are due to many of the clergy of the county for kindly help both viva voce and by letter; as the number is considerable, and private acknowledgments have always been made, no special names are here mentioned. I feel bound, however, to make mention of two Cornish laymen who have gone out of their way to give me assistance, particularly the former; I allude to Mr. Thurstan Peter, of Redruth, the well-known ecclesiological writer, and to Mr. Otho B. Peter, architect of Launceston.
