148 MURAL PAINTINGS IN CORNISH CHURCHES. 



Newlyn East. Some old pannelling, now replaced in a new 

 chancel screen, bears traces of colour. F. J. Bone, Vicar. 



North Petherwyn. Traces of colour on east wall of Chancel 

 [Vicar, J. B. Trenthani, says "apparently E. E." sed qu.]. 

 On Nave arcades remains of bordered texts, post-Reformation, 

 with earlier paintings beneath. None of these preserved at 

 restoration of 1876. 



Padstow. Chancel roof laid out in panels of wood and tufted 

 with gilt knots at the angles. (Whitaker, Ancient Cathedral 

 of Cornwall, Vol. 1, p. 128). 



PouGHiLL. Two large paintings of St. Christopher (one on north 

 wall and other on south wall), unfortunately brilliantly 

 repainted at the instance of the late vicar, a crown being

 March, 1901. 



Poundstock. Portion of screen with painted figures. ("S.K. 

 List," p. 201). On the north wall of the north aisle— (1) The 

 tree of the seven deadly sins, showing the head of pride 

 with an attendant demon at the top, and the other sins at 

 the extremities of the branches. Scrolls with the title of 

 each sin were originally painted around, but only one now 

 remains. (2) Christ surrounded by various implements, 

 figure outlined in yellow, rather indistinct, partly in 

 armour ?; border around with red roses at the corner, 

 date about 1450. C. E. Keyser, Arch. Journal, March,

 than once ; several texts in different parts have been 

 discovered. E. P. Hepplethwaite, Vicar.

 taken from the old screen when it was destroyed in 1723,

 send us Grace and Good for ever." Chancel roof decorated 

 in 1886. — H.M.w.
