- Notes
S Stephen
a. St Stephen, the first martyr and the patronal saint of the church, holding in a fold of his tunic some stones, with which he was martyred, and in his right hand a martyr’s palm frond.
Salvator Mundi (Saviour of the world)
b. Christ as the Saviour of the world.
S Petrock
c. St Petroc, dressed as a bishop. In his left hand he holds a book, and in his right hand a bishop’s crozier. The style in which St Petroc’s face is painted is rather different from the other two figures, which may be because it is a ‘photographic’ likeness of an individual associated with the church, perhaps the Revd Frederick Paul, the rector of Lanivet, who gave most of the money for the church and its contents. The Revd Paul was born in Kenwyn so, as a Cornish clergyman, might have felt that St Petroc was an appropriate figure to contain his likeness.
