Rh Crantock. Rood-stairway is on N. side of N. chapel. The small stone coffin, 4 ft. long, near font is 13th cent. A sacristy, which projected eastward from chancel, was unhappily taken down in 1883. Two doorways by which it was entered from E. end of church can still be traced. Above them, on exterior, are two early decayed stone panels, supposed to be Christ in Majesty and Christ in Humiliation, which came to light at that time. The S. door of church is original; the exterior closing-ring is absurdly styled a "sanctuary ring." There is a room over porch; upper door of newel stairway is also original. There are two well-engraved slate mural monuments, the one to Margaret Prout, 1631, and the other to John Bewis and wife, 1675. (Registers, 1569.)

St. Stephen-by-Saltash.—Chancel, nave of 5 bays, aisles, S. porch, and W. tower. Norm, font is of late Bodmin type; it is 32 in. in diameter and 37 in. high. Base of fine tower, at western end of N. aisle, is of same period. The semi-octagonal turret of tower, nearly in centre of N. side, rises above battlements to height of 100 ft. King Charles's letter is under the tower, and a brass recording restoration of church in 1872. The 15th cent. arcades to aisles, 5 arches on S. and 4 on N., are supported by monolith granite piers. Stairs to rood-loft are on S. Wagon roofs show good carving; some of the small supporting angels remain in chancel. The 15th cent. S. door is original;
