Notes
Photograph of dedicatee.
Royal Cornwall Gazette October 17, 1884 p 5 ,
description of windows; north apse not yet given.
Truro Diocesan Kalendar 1885 p 150 (9th March 1884 ). Heard & Sons, Truro (D/E/3/3 , D/E/4/2 ) -
mentions two windows inserted after restoration.
The three windows in the apse, taken together, are an example of typology, in which an episode (type) in the
Old Testament pre-figures an episode (antitype) in the New Testament.
Thus Jonah’s emergence unscathed from the whale, shown in
Chancel apse north ,
and Elijah’s translation as a rejuvenated youth, shown in
Chancel apse south ,
are the Old Testament types, and
the Resurrection, shown in
Chancel apse east ,
is the corresponding New Testament antitype.
