CORNISH ECCLESIOLOGY. — MABE»

under the jurisdiction of Tremiloret, i.e., Milor's Town." In some 

 old records the name is written Lavabe, and Lan-Mabe=:the 

 Church of Mabe; and in Wolsey's Inqidsition, in 1521;, Milor la 

 Vabe, or Mabe. The parish is annexed to that of Mylor, with 

 which it forms a consolidated vicarage. It was formeiiy appropri- 

 ated to Glasney College at Penryn. 



The Church consists of chancel, nave, north and south aisles, 

 western tower, and porch, and is built throughout of granite ; but 

 the masonry of the tower, south aisle, and porch, is of a much 

 superior description to that of either chancel, nave, or north 

 aisle, — the three former being built with good ashlar work, whilst 

 rough rubble with cut quoins has been used in the erection of the 

 rest of the Church, 



The east window of the chancel is small, of three lights ; the 

 tracery consists of cusped 

 quatrefoils with ornament- 

 ed points, and the dripstone 

 terminates in carved heads. 

 In the north wall, under a 

 four-centred arch, is the 

 stone sedile shown in the 

 annexed sketch; and the 

 outline of a piscina, which 

 has been built up and 

 plastered over, can still be 

 traced in the south wall. 



The chancel and nave 

 are separated from each 

 aisle by an arcade of six 

 pointed arches, with plain 

 mouldmgs consisting of al- 

 ternate cavettos and angles, 

 carried on plain octangular 

 pillars of granite. 



The whole of the wood- 

 work of the rood-screen 



and loft has been completely swept away ; but the staircase turret 

 still remains in the wall of the south aisle, the entrance doorway 

 below and the opening on to the loft above, as well as the steps
