ANNTTAL EXCTTRSION. 55 



when the nave and transept were rebuilt in the 14th century. 

 Circa 1300 Sir John de Trejagu, Knight, the lord of Fenton- 

 gollan, undertook to perfectly repair this church, and proposed 

 to found in it chantiies for four priests, to offer perpetual prayers 

 for himself, his wife, his parents and others named by him. The 

 Bishop approved, and made the church collegiate, and the chief 

 of the four clergymen an archpriest, specially charging him with 

 the care of the parishioners. In February, 1320, Bp. Stapeldon 

 made an ordination of the archpresbytery. The whole of this 

 very interesting ordination, which provided (^inter alia) for the 

 four chaplains living in common, is printed in Preby. Hingeston- 

 Eandolph's edition of Eegr. Stapeldon (pp. 339-341). At the 

 Dissolution the Chantry property was reunited to the Manor of 

 Fentongollan, John Carminow having acquired it from the Crown 

 (Hals). Within the church are brasses of (1) John Trenowyth, 

 1497 (O.S.), owner of the Manor of Fentongollan, to which the 

 advowson is attached; (2) John Trembras, 1515, a Rector of the 

 parish, — the figure in academical dress ; (3) Edward Boscawen, 

 1619 — left moneys by will for up-keep of this and St. Allen 

 Churches; on a scroll above his and his wife's effigies is a Latin 

 paraphrase of St. John V, 24; (4) Marie Coffin, widow, 1622. 

 Above the effigy the Boscawen Arms; (5) John Boscawen, 1564 

 (engraved 1634). From the top of the tower, seventy feet high, 

 a good view of the surrounding country was obtained. The 

 next stage of the journey was to Lamorran Church, now 

 doomed to disuse for general worship, consequent upon a 

 re- arrangement of the ecclesiastical district. This church was 

 dedicated by Bishop Bronescombe on the day before its neigh- 

 bour St. Michael Penkivel. The font of Catacleuse stone was 

 considered by several of the party to be a modern copy of a 

 Norman original, but may be an original piece of work 

 recarved by some not very competent craftsman. In the yard is 

 the octagonal shaft of a cross, in Pentewan stone. In the 

 window of the south wing of the transept is some old glass 

 bearing the de Halep arms (or, three bendlets sable). There is 

 a detached campanile in the yard containing three 18th century 

 bells. This campanile is stated in some of the guidebooks to be 

 part of a former priory here, but there do not seem to be any 

 grounds for the assertion. Farther on the party had a look at
