St. Enodoc, nr. Bray Hill / Saint Enodoc / St. Enodock / Sinkineddy / Trebetherick

Noted in 'On the ancient fonts of Cornwall' (1851): "the bowl is plain and circular, and the stem is encircled with the cable moulding boldly sculptured". Murray's Handbook for travellers […] (1865) mentions an ancient chapel near Bray Hill, half-buried in the sand. Murray dates the church to ca. 1430, but notes: "Its Norman font, a plain circular bowl with cable moulding at the base is an indication of the existence of a ch[urch] prior to the present structure. Described in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a noteworthy example of Romanesque font. Cox (1912) reports a font of local sandstone in this church: "Small round font, with cable moulding between bowl and base". Bond (1908), after Cox & Harvey (1907), mentions a row of medieval stone mortars in the churchyard of the once sand-buried church of St. Enodock, Cornwall, "placed here under the idea that they were holy water stoups".
