INTRODUCTION 25 Stephen-by-Saltash, "said to be 100 ft."; Stratton, 93 ft. ; North Tamerton, 90 ft. ; Week St. Mary, 99 ft. The towers are for the most part in the usual place at the W. end of the nave, but there are some exceptions. Those of Duloe, Lawhitton, and Veryan are on the S. side of the church, whilst that of St. Stephen-by-Saltash is at the W. end of the N. aisle, and that of Saltash on the N. side. The towers of St. Enodoc and Blisland are to the N. of the N. transept. St. Blazey, St. Keverne, Lanteglos-by-Fowey, and Lostwithiel have N. and S. arches, the aisles having been extended so as to bring the towers into the church ; but at St. Columb Major the N. and S. arch- ways are open, the E. and W. walls having no arches. In six cases the towers are separated from the rest of the fabric, the nature of the site in each case giving rise to this peculiarity ; they occur at St. Feock, Gunwalloe, Gwennap, Lamorran, St. Mylor, and Talland. Three of the loftiest towers of the far west have the newel stairs surmounted by an angle turret which rises above the battlements, namely, those of St. Buryan, St. Gwinear, and St. Paul; other towers, such as those of St. Just-in-Roseland, St. Kew, Landrake, Landulph, Lanteglos - by - Camelford, Luxulyan, St. Martin-by-Looe, and St. Stephen- by-Saltash, and St. Veryan, have the like construc- tion, though less emphasised.
