PREFACE
xi

With regard to the illustrations, I am indebted, as will be seen from the list, for three of the photographs from which the plates are produced to Captain L. Ching, R.N., of Launceston, and for three others to the kindness of my friend Mr. Aymer Vallance. Eight of the text illustrations are drawn by Mr. J. Charles Wall, and two by my youngest daughter; the remainder are taken from the last series of the now defunct Reliquary, when it was under the editorship of the late Mr. J. Romilly Allen, who was so well acquainted with the Duchy.

I should like, in conclusion, to mention that Captain Ching, R.N., of I Tamar Terrace, Launceston, has taken a series of beautiful photographs of the whole of the parish churches of Cornwall. These can be obtained from him at the modest price of eighteenpence each; the proceeds are devoted to the cause of Home Missions.
