- NOTES ON TINTAGEL CHURCH. 47 
The main walls of the Chancel are of Saxon work, with the 
exception of the East end, which is modern. In the South wall 
there is a Piscina, with a plain trefoiled head; and in the North 
_ wall a small Aumbry. 
The small round-headed window in the recess to the west of 
the Ladye Chapel is Saxon, and there are the remains of another 
Saxon Window, now blocked, in the South wall, which is at pre- 
sent pierced by a couple of Modern oe windows, inserted 
under Norman arches. 
In the South wall of the Chancel, under an arch of Decorated 
work, is a tomb, probably of some benefactor of the church, with 
a peculiar raised cross on it. There is another coffin-slab in the 
Chancel. It lies on the floor of the recess to the west of the 
Ladye Chapel. The surface of this slab is ornamented with a 
floriated cross, whilst above the cross is a head carved in relief, 
with flowing hair, the features however being obliterated. This 
tomb commemorates an ecclesiastic; and its date may be ascribed 
to the latter end of the 13th, or commencement of the 14th 
Century. 
Beneath the Altar is a Brass, the date of which is about 1430, 
to the Memory of Johana, the mother of John Kelly, dean of 
the Collegiate Church of St. Crantock. She is represented wear- 
ing the horned head-dress, over which a veil is thrown, as was the 
fashion at that time; and she is clad in the elegant long gown 
then worn, with close sleeves edged with fur at the wrists, and 
gathered in by a girdle around the waist. 
The Rood-Screen still remains. It is of Perpendicular work 
well carved. Near it are two old bench-ends, each with a couple 
of shields, one bearing a cross saltire and a chevron between three 
roses ; the other, the letter @ on one shield, and the spear and 
sponge on the other. 
The Chancel Arch is plain, of Norman work; one corbel being 
ornamented with the zigzag, the other with the star moulding. 
From the Chancel an old oak square-shouldered doorway, once 
painted a deep red, leads into the “ Ladye Chapel,” which is 
lighted by two small deeply-splayed round-headed windows. 
Beneath the eastern one still remains the original stone altar, with 
a rough slate slab marked on the top with the usual five crosses. 
On each side of the window over the altar is a bracket, in the
