SCROLLWORK. 



There are no examples in Cornwall of the true Irish divergent 

 spirals, hut only specimens of foliated or apparently debased 

 scrollwork of different varieties, one of which consists of flat 

 kind of scrolls having the spandril filled with a short, pointed 

 stem, like the illustration below.

Foliated Scrolls. 

 I. 



Cardynham. — In churchyard (north front). 



Minster.* — Water-Pit Down (north side). 



Another variety exists on the Water-Pit Down Cross. 

 There is a serpentine band similar to Lanherne ; but instead 

 of the knots in the spandrils, an elongated leaf-pattern is 

 introduced, which gives a late impression of the work Two 

 examples very similar to this are found at Kilchousland, 

 Cantire, and Kilkerran, Argyll. The latter is inscribed in 

 thirteenth century letters. 



Quethiock. — In churchyard (west side). 



St. Teath. — In cemetery (south side). 



II. 



Lanhydrock. — In churchyard (east front). 



Lanivet. — In churchyard (west cross, west front and south side). 



St. Neot.* — " Four-hole cross" (south-west side). 



The scrolls on these crosses look very like thirteenth 

 century work.
