Parents of donor.
Notes
Death of Richard Pearce Barnes (probably father of donor: address ‘Probus Sanctuary’ is same as donor)
,
Royal Cornwall Gazette p 4.
J Polsue, A Complete Parochial History of the County of Cornwall, vol IV p 94. William Lake, Truro,
gives the donor of the
chancel window, showing
scenes in the Saviour’s life,
as Revd Lampen, who preceded Revd Barnes at Probus, but this is almost certainly incorrect.
Revd Lampen died in , yet
the window is not mentioned in any reports of the
restoration which list all the stained glass windows then present.
South aisle west, moreover,
in memory
of the Revd Lampen’s mother, is well documented. It seems unlikely that he would donate
a window in memory of both parents as well as one in memory of his mother alone.
