262 NOTES ON THE CHURCH OF ST. IVES. 



that the south wall trends northward towards the tower end, and 

 that the south west angle of the south aisle is cut away so as to 

 avoid encroachment on the narrow street outside. 



There are only two bells in the tower, hoth dated June, 1830, 

 one with a diameter of 36 inches at the mouth, the other with a 

 diameter of 48 inches. These are said to have been cast from 

 the metal of five older ones, one bearing date 1721. The Terrier 

 of 1746 says "There are three Bells in the Tower." 



There are a few fragments of glass in the windows of 

 apparently early date, but the colouring in the few windows that 

 are so filled is modern, and for the most part good neither in 

 design nor tone. The chancel window till recently represented 

 our Lord, St. Andrew, and St. Peter. The parish accounts say 

 " The window over the altar was rebuilt and filled with new 

 glass of beautiful design in the year 1852, at the cost of H. L. 

 Stephens, Esq., and Mrs. Davy." So says the record. Those of 

 us who remember the window can only be grateful for the 

 explosion at the Hayle dynamite works, January, 1904, that 

 blew in a great part of this window, and can only regret that its 

 effects did not extend further and destroy also some other glass 

 in this and the neighbour church of Lelant. The parish now 

 has a reasonable excuse for destroying what is left, and placing 

 a properly designed window in its place ; and this, we are 

 informed, is to be done. The window (by Messrs. Fouracre and 

 Watson), placed in the south aisle in 1885, in memory of John 

 Newman Tremearne and Matilda, his wife, by their children, has 

 pictures of St. Sennen, habited as a bishop, St. la, and St. 

 Levan, the latter with a fishing net, when we should have 

 expected the hook and line which tradition usually attributes to 

 him. 



The 'Resurrection' window in the. Trenwith chapel, by 

 Messrs. Heaton, Butler and Baines, is not worthy of that firm's 

 reputation either in design or execution. 



The best window in the church is in the south aisle near 

 the font. It is the work of Mr. Powell, of Whitefriars, the 

 subject being the Three Christian Grraces, and is to the memory 

 of Dr. and Mrs. Yonge. It is by no means a perfect work, but 

 it is difficult to believe, though it is the fact, that the same
