St Erth’s Church, St Erth is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England Diocese of Truro in St Erth, Cornwall, England, UK. ==History== The parish church is dedicated to St Erc (Latin ''Ercus'') and is probably of the 14th century. It is not a large church and has a west tower of three stages. There are north and south aisles, the arcade in the north aisle having piers of two different types. It was restored in 1747 by Vicar Collins. There was a subsequent restoration in 1872 to 1874 which resulted in an almost complete rebuilding, except for the tower. The walls were built with polyphant stone, the old pews were replaced by open benches of pitch pine. The chancel roof was decorated and the chancel was paved with encaustic tiles. The east window was replaced. Two dormer windows were inserted in the roof. The wagon roof of the south porch is old and the font is Norman and of an unusual square design.〔Pevsner, N. (1970) ''Cornwall''; 2nd ed. revised by Enid Radcliffe. Penguin; p. 169〕 The ornate wooden roofs of the nave and aisles and fine oak screen decorated with the Four Evangelists are due to the restoration of 1874.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St Erth )〕〔Mee, Arthur (1937) ''Cornwall''. London: Hodder & Stoughton; p. 213〕 The wife of the vicar, Mrs Mills, presented a new font of carved Caen stone. The church was reopened by the Bishop on 20 February 1874. The Trewinnard chapel was restored in 1912 under the supervision of Sedding and Wheatley in memory of the Hawkins family. The cost was borne by Mrs Hawkins, widow of Christopher Hawkins of the Trewinnard Estate. The carving around the altar was done by Hitch and Co of London, and Rashleigh, Pinwell and Co of Plymouth. One of the panels of the seat ends bears a figure of the late Bishop of Truro Dr. Charles Stubbs, who is depicted blessing the people. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Erth's Church, St Erth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
