Acc.no: PEZPH : 2009.449
Identification
Item: St Buryan Church, looking through the rood screen to the high altar
Description: The font on the left is made of Ludgvan granite, the step and base are 15th century; the bowl is 13th century and has three angels supporting shields with a Latin cross on its fourth side and a Maltese cross between two angels. The rood screen is medieval, probably made by a Devonian. It may have been a gift of the Godolphin and Killigrew families to mark the marriage of John Godolphin to Elizabeth Killigrew in the fifteenth century as their coats of arms are on the screen. It was partially restored in 1814. The rood beam is original and is carved with a vine pattern, hunting scenes, plants and flowers. The lower rood screen has its original colouring. There is some rare azurite blue paint.
