Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
In the light of new discoveries made during restoration work undertaken since 1992, details of the church's development and structure are given. Hazarded to be of pre-Norman origin, precise records for the church are scant throughout. Such details of the fabric as remain in Diocesan records are given, prior to a detailed description of the church itself, starting with the nave, which exhibited an enigmatic socket in the north wall, and the chancel, which appears to be of several builds. Wall-plasters and limewashes are recorded and there is some suggestion of post-medieval black-letter wall texts, though nothing confirmatory. The south aisle, south-east chapel and porch are described, along with the roof, south porch and nave arcade. The rest of the building is detailed in the order -- north transept, east wall, roof-loft stair-turret, west wall, north wall, site of the former North Tower, south wall, and the West Tower -- ground stage, second stage and third stage, and the parapet stage. The analysis and discussion section begins by charting the structural progress. The current building is predominantly fifteenth-century, but of several builds within that period. The north transept is anomalous, almost certainly earlier, and possibly representative of an original cruciform plan. A fifteenth-century granite coffin hewn from a single slab, dug up pre-1820 and still extant in the churchyard, may have originally been buried in the chapel. Tentative reconstruction of a possible ground-plan for the thirteenth-century church, and subsequent comparisons with other Cornish examples, leads to the further suggestion that there were general blueprints for church design, and even prefabricated stonemasonry. | |||||||||||
