78 THE ECCIiESIASTICAL SEALS OF CORNWALL. 



and it displays probably tbe original shape of the 

 famous Laoooon group of statuary. That group was 

 found in the 16th century, in a mutilated condition, 

 and was repaired in a different foim. It is now in 

 the Vatican. The impression of the seal is at War- 

 dour Castle, and although it can scarcely be classed 

 amongst the Ecclesiastical Seals of Cornwall, it is 

 highly interesting in its connection with Art ; and as 

 illustrating certain influences associated with Tywar- 

 dreath Priory. 



For accounts relating to the engraved gem, see 

 E. I. of C. Jl., (vol. 3, No. X, p. xvi, and No. XI, p. 

 xxix), Archaeological Journal (vol. 24, p. 45) in which 

 is an engraving of the seal twice the size of the 

 original, Oliver's Mon : (Addl : Suppl : p. 5), and 

 Maclean's Trigg Minor (vol. 1, p. 325), in which the 

 engraving again appears.

The Marquess of Salisbury, according to Oliver, 

 (Mon : p. 30), is in possession of the Register of this 

 Priory.

The Island has been called St. Nicholas's Isle. 

 Carew called it St. George's. For further informa- 

 tion concerning this cell see Oliver (Mon : pp. 443, 

 484, under Talland).

St. Columb. — Dr. Oliver, by his map and in his 

 Preface (Mon : p. v), stated that there was no 

 religious house or college here, but he afterwards 

 (pp. 485-8) shewed that in Arundell's Chapel were 

 five stipendary priests serving the parish Church, and 

 there were other priests besides. He also refers to 

 Lysons (Mag : Brit : III. 65 , where we read that the 

 Warden and four other Arundell priests probably 

 resided by the Churchyard, and formed what Hals 

 described as the College of Black Monks engaged in 

 education ; Lysons adds that the College house was 

 burnt down by accident in 1701. 

 We may suppose that this College required no Seal.
