 THE CHURCHES OF CORNWALL 173 In churchyard, to N.W. of the church, stands a 15th cent, cross, of Catacleuse stone ; head, carved with the Annunciation, Crucifixion, and saint subjects. Church somewhat over-restored by Mr. Butterfield in 1861; it is kept in excellent and worshipful order, and cannot fail to delight all reverent-minded church- men. (Registers, 1686.) St. Mawnan (Sts. Mawnan and Stephen). — Chancel, nave, aisles with arcades of 5 arches sup- ported by monolith granite piers, and W. tower of two stages. S. porch removed in 1830 to extend aisle westward, and other clumsy alterations about that date; thorough scheme of restoration in 1880. A 13th cent, lancet window on S. side of chancel. The N. aisle windows are 14th cent.; as both arcades are 15th cent., it would appear that these windows were removed from N. wall of nave when this aisle was thrown out. Tower late 14th cent. ; rest of church, including small octagonal granite font, late 15th cent. Rood-stairs on S. side. One side of old rood-screen remains, including painted panels of Sts. Peter, Andrew, James, and John. A 17th cent, shaft alms-box, with iron lid and 2 padlocks, is inscribed "Remember the Poore." (Registers, 1553.) St. Mellion. — Chancel and nave, with continuous N. aisle of 5 bays, S. transept and porch, and W. tower; thorough restoration in 1862, also consider- able recent repairs. Old wagon roofs happily suffered to retain ceiled panels. Originally a Norm, cruciform church ; lowes part of walls of chancel, S. transept,
