Decorated details may also be noticed at St. Cubert, St. Erney, Poug- hill, Quethiock, St. Wendron, and Zennor, whilst the unbuttressed towers of Advent, St. Erth, St. Germoe, St. Levan, Landewednack, St. Madron, and San- creed, as well as those of St. Neot and Lanteglos- by-Fowey clearly pertain to the 14th cent.
