S. doorway of serpentine, 9 ft. high, into which a Perp. doorway has been inserted ; several Dec. windows in chancel, transept, and nave; stone-groined porch, c. 1300; curious much - repaired font, inscribed D: Ric: Bolham me fecit (he was rector from 1414 to 141 5); and large passage squint, with low-side window, at angle of transept and chancel, like those of St. Cury and St. Mawgan. The unbuttressed two-staged tower is built of great blocks of serpentine mingled
