THE ECCLESIASTICAL SEALS OF COENWALL. 57 



manors of Deliaii may have included Endelian, they 

 having been identified in St. Teath, the adjoining 

 parish. See, Hist : of Cornwall, Lake, Truro, (vol. 

 1, p. 329), Borlase (Age of the Saints, R. I. of C. Jl. 

 vol. 6, pp. 79, 80), Maclean (Trigg Minor vol. 1, p. 

 479, and Plates, also vol. '6, pp. 89, 120, 122, 126, 

 128). There were four Prebendaries, under different 

 patrons, composing this College. Each seems to 

 have had a separate residence near the Church. The 

 four co-ordinate Eectors were afterwards regarded 

 as one Rector and three Prebendaries. These offices 

 are still continued, but the Prebendaries are non- 

 resident. No other Prebends in Cornwall remain. 

 Endellion Prebendal Church does not apj)ear to have required 

 a Seal. 



St. MICHAEL PENKI^EL (Dedication, St. Michael the 

 Ai'changel). The Church was consecrated Aug : 13, 

 1261, by Walter Bronescombe, Bishop of Exeter. 

 The names and titles of the Saint and of the Bishop 

 appear, with an incised cross, on the foundation 

 stone. The advowson belonged to Fentongollan. 

 In 1319, Sir John de Tre-iagu (Tre-jago) of Fenton- 

 gollan, Knight, was patron. He, having restored 

 the fabric, founded a chantry of four chaplains. The 

 Bishop's Deed confirming this is still preserved at 

 Tregothnan. It is endorsed " Ordinacio Archi- 

 presbiteratus de Penkevel in Cornubia." The Church 

 was thus made Collegiate. The head Chaplain was 

 Archpriest and received special charge of the parish. 

 His " socii," or fellows, lived under his roof, shared 

 his table and each received from him yearly two 

 marks " pro stipendio et roba sua." 



To all who had assisted in promoting the Church's 

 welfare, &c., and had prayed for (amongst others) 

 Sir John Triagu, the founder of the chantry, and 

 Sir William de MuUabourne the first Archpriest 

 there, Pope Benedict XII granted in 1335 an Indul- 

 gence. This document also is preserved at Tre- 

 gothnan. The four chaplains required four altars.
