THE ECCLESIASTICAL SEALS OF CORNWALL. 79 



Week St. Mary. — The College, as it has been 

 called, founded by Dame Thoraasine Perceval (nee 

 Bonaventure) was an endowed chantry and Grammar 

 School. Compare Hawker (Footprints in far Corn- 

 wall, p. 80, &c) with Lysons (Mag: Brit : pp. xxxv, 

 322) and Oliver (Mon : p. 483). 



For an account of the number and description 

 of officers and other inmates of the various Colleges, 

 Hospitals, &c , and for details concerning Deaneries, 

 Prebends, Chantries, &c., see Oliver's Monasticon 

 (pp. 483, 488), and H. M. AVhitley's " Cornish Chan- 

 tries " (Truro Dioc: Kal : 1883, p. 72). Mr. 

 Whitley's other papers in the R. I. of C. Jl. on the 

 miscellaneous property, &c., belonging to the monas- 

 teries and other religious establishments, are likewise 

 extremely interesting. 



P. 69. {Guilds, Sj-c.) 



At Stratton was a Gruild of the Maidens of our 

 Lady. 



In Poundstock Church there was a fraternity. 

 Thomas Haywode, Chaplain and Vicar of the Parish 

 Church of Poundstock, in 1 434, bequeathed to it the 

 sum of iijf iiij**, (Test : Cornub : p. 19). 



P. 7o. {Conclusion). 



Mediaeval Seals were not all of the usual circular 

 or double-pointed oval forms (see p. 34). Dr. Oliver 

 has figured one used by the Dean and Chapter of 

 Exeter in 1133 which, as seal and counterseal, on 

 opposite sides of the wax, made one impressiun cir- 

 cular, and the other of spoon-bowl shape, i.e., pointed 

 at apex, and rounded at base (See Plate in his " Lives 

 of the Bishops of Exeter "). He has also noticed the 

 triangular Seal of a Treverbyn, engraved in the 

 Archaeological Journal (vol. X, p. loO). See Monas- 

 ticon (Addl : Suppl : p. 4).
