THE CHURCHES OF CORNWALL 127 font are 15th cent., and the porch is dated 1605. Much restoration in 1868. (Registers, 1616.) St. Juliot (St. Juliettd). — Consists of chancel, nave of 5 bays with S. aisle, N. transept, and S. porch, and W. tower. A 15th cent, aisle absorbed S. transept, obliterating the cruciform design. Massive tower is late 14th cent., but considerably rebuilt. The embattled 15 th cent, porch is granite vaulted. Considerable restoration in 1872, when fragments of old screen were worked up into its successor. Many old bench- ends remain carved with sacred monograms, initial letters, and coats of arms. The 15th cent, granite font has IHC on the W. front ; bowl is square, but hexagonal inter- nally. Royal arms in plaster have initials C.R. and date 1 68 1. (Registers, 1656.) St. Just-in-Penwith. 1 — Re-dedicated by Bishop Grandison in 1336. Chancel rebuilt in 1834, but during drastic restoration of 1865-6 it became mani- fest that part of Dec. S. wall of chancel, consecrated by Grandison, including sedile and piscina, had ,» been left standing. Rest of church is Perp., of w latter half of 15th cent. Arcades have a pleasing '. effect because of irregularity of shape and width ; < piers are of Beer stone, and have exceptionally well- r4 carved capitals, some of vine pattern, and others - sculptured with coats of arms of families of Ar- wenack, Boscawen, Bray, and Petit.
