THE ECCLESIASTICAL SEALS OF CORNWALL 51 



Oliver (Mon : p. 3), and figured in " seals of Monas- 

 teries of the Benedictine Order" (PI. 14,) and quoted 

 by Worth. 

 L.VUNGESTON *- (Dedication, St. Stephen, protomarty r. ) This 

 Augustinian Priory had a common seal of early 

 type. Other seals also were in use. 



1. Seal of Priory (circular.) Attached to a 13th cen- 

 tury deed. Oliver (M : p. 23,) Worth. 



2. Seal (oval) of Prior Eoger de Horton. See Oliver 

 (M: p. 413.) 



In 1428, 1430, 1447, the Priory Seal was appended to 

 Deeds which still exist at Liskeard. The device is 

 illegible, only fragments of wax remaining. See 

 Hancock (Notice of the Church of St. Martin, Lis- 

 keard, p. 11, &c.) 



TYWAEDEEATH, (Dedication— St. Andrew, Apostle and 

 Martyr). At first an Alien Priory or Cell of the 

 Abbey of Saints Sergius and Bacchus at Angers in 

 Anjou, but afterwards incorporated. The Seals per- 

 taining to this Benedictine Priory were numerous. 

 Impressions of the following remain. See Oliver 

 (Mon : p. 36 with plate of seal No. 5), and Worth, 

 who quotes from him. 



1. Seal (Saint with plain cross, &c). 



2. Seal (Saint with Saltire, &c). 



3. Seal (Saint on Saltire between star, fleur de ly- 

 and crescent). 



4. Seal (The star, &c., omitted). 



5. Seal (Saint with Saltire under rich canoj)y). 



6. Seal (Armorial), 



and perhaps others. f 

 St. ANTHONY or Antonine, in Meneage. This Priory was a 

 Cell of Tywardreath Priory, just mentioned, and prob- 

 ably had no separate seal. 



* There being a notable castle here, Castrum or Cestre might be looked for 

 in the name, but from old deeds it appears that the Town, called Duuheved, 

 acquired the name of Launceston, or Lan-stevaton, from the Church and Priory 

 of St Stephen. Leland mentions " Lauuston otherwise cawlled Lostephan." 



t Concerning these, including the Laocoon Seal, see "Addenda" at end of 

 this paper.
