Mr. Pedler was author of " The Anglo Saxon Episcopate of 

 Cornwall." 



* Haines remarks : " Such a convulsion in the habits and feelings of the 

 "people as took place in England at the time of the Eeformatiou, would 

 " lead us naturally to expect a great change in the Ecclesiastical Emblems, 



"and the phraseology of the Inscriptions At St. Mellions, 



" Cornwall, on the brass of Peter Coryton, Esq., and wife, 1551, some animals 

 " (a lion, talbot, &c.), which form part of their armorial bearings, are sub- 

 " stituted for the symbols of the evangelists." 



•f- This brass is mentioned by Haines with one at Launceston, c. 1620, 

 and others in various parts of the kingdom, in proof of his statement that 

 after the middle of the 16th Century brasses " are occasionally to be met 

 " with which were engraved by provincial artists, and are little better than 

 " miserable caricatures of the deceased." 



J This brass is mentioned amongst others by Haines, as illustrating the 

 military equipment just after the middle of the 16th Century : " the breast- 

 " plate is now generally without placates, and has the tapul or projecting 

 " edge formerly in fashion ; the mail skirt has an indented edge, frills are 

 " worn at the wrists, and the skirt of faces is divided at the lower part by an 

 " arched opening between the tuiles."
