BISHOP VIVI\N. 



The Pev. W. lago gave some interesting information 

 respecting the tomb of Bishop Vivian, Prior of Bodmin, in 

 Bodmin Church, which, he said, was the only monument to a 

 Bishop of mediaeval times which was known to exist in Cornwall. 

 He believed Bi.shop Vivian was claimed as a relative of the 

 President's family, and also of the Vyvyans, of Trelowarren.

 dissolved, and the Priory Church pulled down, the tomb 

 was preserved and placed in the Parish Church. When it was 

 removed the bones of the Prior were also translated and placed

 upon soMie flat stones, and under these stones he found the 

 skeleton of the Prior, much decayed and broken up, but 

 not so much as might have been expected. Having collected 

 the bouL'S, and, with the assistance of a medical gentleman, well 

 versed in anatomy, placed them as nearly as possible in proper
