The date is on a scroll, which is in a hand descending from the clouds, upon one of the bench-ends. Benches and screens are of the same date. The Morwenstow screen has been removed at the recent miserable “restoration.” The wreckers are not extinct in Cornwall, they call themselves architects and fall on and ravage churches. Footnote 18: This, as has been already shown, is an error; he confounded St. Morwenna of Cornwall with St. Modwenna of Burton-on-Trent. At the “restoration” frescoes were discovered throughout the church; all but one were wantonly destroyed. Footnote 19: _Ancient Crosses in Cornwall_, by J. T. Blight. Penzance, 1858. Footnote 20: The mysterious sisters really lived and died in North Devon. Mr. Hawker transplanted the story to St. Knighton’s Kieve. Any attempt in prose or verse to associate these sisters with Glennecten he afterwards resented as a literary theft. Footnote 21: _Ecclesia_: a volume of poems. Oxford, 1840. Really, the church of Forrabury on the height above Boscastle, which is a hamlet in the parish of Forrabury. Footnote 22: A clergyman on whom he had calculated for his assistance in his services. Footnote 23: _Footprints of Former Men._ I have followed Mr. Hawker’s tale closely, except in one point, where I have told the story as related to me in the neighbourhood differently from the way in which he has told it. Coppinger was really an Irishman, with a wife at Trewhiddle, Cornwall, by whom he had a daughter, who married a son of Lord Clinton. He gave as her portion £40,000. Trewhiddle is near St. Austell. Footnote 24: A fact: the shirt was secured. Footnote 25: The handwriting of this letter is very shaky, and different from the usual bold writing of the vicar. Footnote 26: _Footprints of Former Men in Far Cornwall_, pp. 182-221. Footnote 27: A copy of verses to Mr. Hawker, thanking him for his conduct, was written, printed and circulated in Arbroath. They are by one David Arnott, and dated 13th Oct., 1842. They are of no merit. They end thus:— Such deeds as thine are registered in heaven, And there alone can due reward be given. Footnote 28: A man present on this occasion tells me that the recovery of the body took place on a Monday, and not on a Sunday. Mr. Hawker had daily prayer in his church.—_S. B.-G._ Footnote 29: With cross going before him, in his surplice, reciting psalms. Footnote 30: The boat is rotted nearly away, the bows alone remain tolerably entire.—S. B.-G. Footnote 31: Alas! here the wrecker has been at work. There were carved bench-ends with curious heads, technically called poppy-heads, but unlike any I have seen elsewhere, unique, I believe. These heads have been cut off, thrown away and the bench-ends stuck against the screen. The seats are now of deal. Footnote 32:
