 THE CHURCHES OF CORNWALL 205 of St. Hugh consists of chancel, nave of 4 bays, N. aisle, N and S. transepts, S. porch, and W. tower. Originally a Norm, cruciform church. The 15th cent, builders, when designing N. aisle, happily left small portion of E. end of that transept. Font, 28 in. square, Norm., but base modern. S. door- way and other work on that side is 14th cent., in- cluding cinquefoil-headed holy-water stoup. Slender looking unique tower, rising over W. gable of nave, is also of Dec. date. In N. wall of N. transept is an ogee-headed 14th cent, sepulchral or founder's recess, but it lacks any effigy ; another sepulchral recess in S. transept. Large squint from S. tran- sept has stairs to rood-loft in passage, as at Pillaton. Considerable remains of old wagon roof of nave. At entrance to S. transept is a valuable brass with effigies to Roger Kyngdon, 1471, Joan his wife, and their 16 children ; 1 son has a crown on left shoulder, representing Walter, a Yeoman of the Guard. On wall of this transept are brass effigies of Richard Chiverton, 1617; Isabel his wife, 163 1 ; and their 1 1 children. In the porch are 6-holed stocks. (Registers, 1574.)
