THE CHURCHES OF CORNWALL 145 restored in 1872. N. wall of nave and chancel and lower parts of transept with the jambs of the arch are Norm., at which period there was a cruciform church. The 2 sedilia of chancel are round-headed. The three- staged unbuttressed tower, 71 ft. high, with turreted newel at N.E. angle, and S. aisle were added early in 15th cent., and porch about 50 years later. Wagon roofs happily retain their plaster. Large cinquefoil niche over S. entrance, and a stoup within porch. The 15th cent, fine font is octagonal, with traceried panels ; it is 3 ft. in diameter. In upper lights of aisle windows are small figures of 5 Apostles, of the Virgin and St. Anne, and of the Virgin and St. Joachim in 15th cent, glass. In a N. chancel win- dow is an old quartered coat of Morton. Against outer N. wall are 4 slate monuments of 17th cent., ejected during the restoration, the oldest dated 1632. (Registers, 1558.) Lanteglos-by-Fowey. — The large interesting church of St. Winwaloe (?), consisting of chancel, nave, aisles, S. porch, and W. tower, underwent a sorely needed restoration in 1904-5 at the hands of Mr. E. H. Sedding. He noticed Norm, work "in the corners of the great tower piers," which escaped our attention ; work of the same date is obvious in jambs of S. doorway. Font, 30 in. square and 36 in. high, an excellent example of early 13th cent.; ribbed moulding round rim, flowing conventional foliage on bowl, and supported by shafts with well-moulded capitals and bases. Shafts of the font are Purbeck, K
