 THE CHURCHES OF CORNWALL 171 chancel walls are E.E., and there are two (renewed) lancet lights in the S. wall ; S. transept used to show undoubted 13th cent. work. E. window of chancel and S. window of transept are Dec. N. aisle is c. 1450, and tower and N. transept c. 1500. The 2 arches at entrance to S. transept are modern. Note finely carved wagon roofs ; E.E. font on 5 shafts ; arcade of porcelain stone, with rudely carved capitals; and carved grani te jambs of E. window of N. chancel aisle. Most interesting feature is the squint- passage through angle of transept and chancel, with its 3 small arches and low-side window. The 3- staged unbuttressed tower, with lofty pinnacles of clustered shafts, is the best in W. of Cornwall. Jambs of W. doorway are cunningly carved in con- tinuous bands of foliage springing from crowned heads. On tower are arms of Carminow, Reskymer, Ferrers, and Vyvyan. In S. transept are defaced freestone late 13th cent, effigies of knight and lady. Knight is in chain mail, with crossed legs, and a bend on his shield ; in all probability it represents Robert Carminow, who was in Palestine with Edward I. In N. aisle are many monuments of Vyvyans of Trelowarren, 1665 to 1844. Sword and helmet of Sir Richard Vyvyan, Bart. (1665), which he used during Great Rebellion, hung on ironwork of tomb; but they have been removed to Trelowarren owing to damp of church. (Registers, 1678.)
