INTRODUCTION 29 Madron, St. Michael Penkevil (2), South Petherwin, Phillack, Poundstock, St. Probus, Rame, Tintagel, Towednack, Tywardreath, St. Veep, and St. Wen- dron. There are also altar slabs in the remains of chapels at St. Clether, St. Madron, and Tintagel. Special features of some of these slabs are dis- cussed under the respective churches. Stone SEDILIA are not numerous ; most of the examples are earlier than the 15th cent. The difficulty of producing refined work in granite doubtless often prevented them being attempted in the Perp. period ; substitutes of timber would be provided. Triple sedilia occur at St. Gwithian, St. Ive, Menheniot, St. Michael Penkevil, and Sheviock ; there are single ones at Anthony East and St. Gulval. PlSCIN/E are, of course, of continuous occurrence. There are three examples with Norm, shafts at Altarnun, St. Creed, and Egloskerry ; two double instances, of late 13th cent., at St. Newlyn and St. Just-in-Roseland ; and two remarkable shafted ones of Perp. date at Bodmin and St. Mylor. With regard to old PULPITS of stone and wood, there is in the church of Egloshayle a 13th cent. stone pulpit of Caen stone, and there is another of like date and material in the modern church of St. Paul, Truro. 1 There are pre-Reformation oak pulpits at Bodmin (1491), Camborne, Laneast, 1 Some mystery appears to attach to this latter pulpit. The church of St. Paul was built in 1848, and much restored in 1884,
