ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. 85 



of St. Ke5aie, at which, no halt was made, remarking that the 

 well was now dry, the building in a dilapitated condition, and 

 the trees almost gone. He also remarked upon the old Latin 

 cross, which formerly stood in the churchyard, as alluded to at 

 the morning meeting, and after pointing out that there were 

 three holy wells in that district about a mile and a half from each 

 other, he passed on to the Druidical circle close to Duloe, and 

 other objects of interest along the route; 



The Bishop said he had been appealed to with reference to 

 the legality of destroying the old cross at St. Keyne. He 

 pointed out that particular care was taken to prevent any 

 defacement of old stones. St. Keyne Church was restored in 1878, 

 and he to-day heard for the first time that the ancient cross had 

 disappeared. Six months ago he heard that some bosses were 

 taken away from the roof of the same church and offered for 

 sale. A letter was instantly sent to the authorities to know if 

 the rumour were true. An answer was received that it was true, 

 and the bosses had been sold, but it was satisfactory to know 

 that they were secured by the authorities of another church, and 

 what one architect had condemned as useless were secured by 

 the architect of St. Ewe church, and were now placed in the 

 north aisle of that church. Some inquiry must be made with 

 reference to the ancient cross, and he hoped it would be found 

 that it had not been broken up and used in the building as had 

 been suggested. 



Dr. Barham pointed out that the Institution was indebted 

 to the kindness of Canon Harvey for the loan of the picture of 

 Trelawne House, now exhibited. 



The Eev. W. Iago read an ancient document containing the 

 autograph of Bishop Jonathan Trelawny, dated Trelawne, 

 January 18, 1689. Mr. Iago quite agreed with the Bishop that 

 something ought to be done to preserve these crosses and anti- 

 quities. There were in the church at Bodmin, bosses on which 

 the names of the donors of the timber for the roof of the church 

 were inscribed. Now, supposing those bosses were removed to 

 any other Church, it would be supposed that those parties had 

 given the timber for the roof of the second church, which, of 

 course, would not be the case.
