 212 THE CHURCHES OF CORNWALL 1867. A mutilated image of the Blessed Virgin, 3 ft. 2 in. high, stands on a bracket in transept ; it retains traces of gold, red, and blue. Also remains of a large painted canopy on E. wall of aisle. A fine early cross was moved to cemetery adjoining church in 1890. (Registers, 1 710.) Sheviock. — Church of Sts. Peter and Paul, re- dedicated in 1259, consists of chancel, S. transept, N. aisle, N. and S. porches, and W. tower with spire. Plan of E.E. church in all probability cruciform. The 13th cent, tower, surmounted by octagonal broached spire, is of three stages, and lighted by small lancets ; they closely resemble the tower and spire of neighbouring church of Rome. Font of same date is a plain circular example standing 37 in. high, with diameter of 24 in. Con- siderable rebuilding and extension of fabric c. 1340. Five-light E. window of chancel and two S. windows of same are of that period. Lead spouting of chancel bears initials G. P. C, and date 1902; the chancel was restored by the rector, Rev. Gerald Pole- Carew. There is also good work of 14th cent in S. transept, and on S. side of nave. In 15th cent, a N. aisle to both nave and chancel was erected, to destruction of N. transept. Four-light W. window of this aisle was obviously reused from old transept. Arcade of this aisle consists of 6 granite arches sup- ported by monolith piers. Five three-light windows on N. and four-light window at E. end, with granite mullions and tracery, are good examples of Perp.
