Paul's Cathedral built into the S wall of the chancel (Power).
INTERIOR: plastered walls; painted moulded barrel ceilings
except for ribbed vault to chancel extension; gallery to W
end.
FITTINGS: C15 (1482 Power) octagonal painted stone font with
shields and cinquefoil-arched panels, brought from Church of
St Budeaux in 1820; painted creed to N wall of chancel and
