(0) The Lanhydrock „ Bell [re-cast (?) with 



old legend repeated and reversed], 

 — which three legends have hitherto been unread. 



ROMAN. 



(A). On the lich-stone upon the central block of masonry 

 between the " grid-stiles " at the eastern entrance of Tintagel 

 churchyard : — 



IMP C G 



VA [L] 



LIC LIC I N 



" Imperatore 

 Oeesare Gralerio 

 Valerio 

 Liciniano Licinio." 



(AD. 307^-324). 



ANGLO-SAXON. 

 (B). On the Altar-slab (now used for supporting a sun- 

 dial) in the grounds of Pendarves, and formerly at Treslothan : 



( iEgvred : — 

 D \ 



eeGuRED equivalent to 



I Egvred or Ecfrid. 



The name is in a panel, the letters u and R are in ligature. 

 The stone is thick, and is adorned (like that at Camborne in- 

 scribed for LEUIUT or Leviut) on its upper surface with a 

 central cross and Greek-fret border. 



(C). On the old Bell, removed from Lanhydrock church 

 tower to make room for the hanging of a new peal, and now 

 preserved by Lord Eobartes at his mansion : — 



\ A bell-legend, in jingling 

 aethelstan sumpta / rhyme ; reproduced on the 

 an[ima] sua i bell when it was (?) recast 



) in mediaeval times. 

 The letters are set backward, with inversions, and are arbi- 

 trarily spaced, without uniform distances being observed, — some 

 being in solid groups, others separate, and those in brackets 

 omitted. The whole legend is reversed ; it surrounds the 

 haunch of the bell in one line ; th is expressed by the usual 

 single rune, and the name is perhaps spelled aetholstan. 



[Particulars of these and other Inscriptions, &c, are reserved 

 for our next issue.]
