With hearty thanks to the worthy rector, Mr. Evans, for his 
hospitable reception, and for the opportunity of quietly looking over 
the Registers, we must quit this pleasant though somewhat wild 
spot and take our way by a very hilly road through Millbrook to 
A tiny church nestling at the foot of the hills which shut 
in that creek of the Hamoaze known as St. John’s Lake, whose 
waters come up to the churchyard wall—a charming 
place, if the tide did not recede and leave banks of 
slimy mud during a large portion of time, and were 
the atmosphere a little less humid. In the church we shall find 
little to interest us in the 
way of monuments. There 
is a loose shield having 
the arms of Beele impaling 
Bickton; viz, (Az.) three 
griffins’ heads erased (arg.): 
imp. A fess betw. in chief 
three cinquefoil, in base as 
many erm, spots. Crest, A 
unicorn’s head erased. The 
only existing monument to 
which this shield could 
have belonged is that of 
Elizabeth Beele, daughter 
of Thomas Fisher, Esq., and 
Agnes, his wife; and the 
wife of the Rev. William 
Beele, who died 26th March, 
1747, aged 42 years. This 
is recorded on a_ plain 
marble tablet, but the arms impaled should be Fisher, which is 

St. John’s- 
by-Saltash.
