138 president's address. 



St. Antliony in Eoseland, carefully restored by the late Rev. 

 C. W. Carlyon, chiefly at the expense of Sir Samuel Spry, is a 

 good specimen of a cruciform church, the chancel of which was 

 destroyed by the fall of the tower. Tradition says, this has been 

 rebuilt on its old foundation. Here a Norman south doorway to 

 the nave carries back its history to an early date. I regret to say 

 that Lamorran and Grade are specimens of the destruction of 

 cruciform churches carried out in the name of restoration, whilst 

 at St. Just-in-Eoseland the old monuments have been buried 

 under the tiled floor. 



A list of views of Cornish churches, and the books in 

 which they are to be found, would open out a large field. In 

 the Gentleman's Magazine, for instance, is a view of St. Erme. 

 Separate memoirs of the church of St. Columb Major, by the 

 Eev. P. Carlyon, are published in the Transactions of the Exeter 

 Diocesan Architectural Society. In vol. iv, occur accounts of 

 Morwenstow church by Lieut. Col. Harding ; and of Callington 

 church, by Eev. JEneas B. Hutchison, B.D. ; whilst St. German's 

 church is described by J. Furneaux, in vol. iii, p. 82; St. Burian, 

 by John D. Sedding, in vol. ii, second series, p. 210; certain 

 churches in the deanery of East by Eev. H. M Eice, in vol. 

 iii, p. 178; and under the name of "Iter Cornubiense," many 

 of the same churches are illustrated by Charles Spence, Esq. 



There are churches with detached towers or campaniles at 

 Gwennap, Feock, Mylor, Gunwalloe, and Lamorran ; the tower 

 and spire of St. Hilary were unconnected with the church before 

 the latter was burnt. Launceston tower is only connected with 

 the church by a parish room. 



Mr. J. E. Collins, in proposing a vote of thanks to the 

 president for the foregoing address, referred to the existence 

 of two old pictures at Altarnun, which he considered to date 

 back to about the time of James I, representing the administra- 

 tion of the sacrament of Holy Communion. One was particularly 

 curious, two candles being shewn as lighted upon the Table. 

 The Table there was so placed, that the minister could go to the 

 north side and walk all around if he chose. It stood in a 

 middle space, away from the east wall. 



The President remarked : — It does now.
