Just off the Atlantic highway a short country lane loops its way around Poundstock churchyard.  This church has a bit of everything including a Norman font, slate tombstone, early 17^th century pulpit, and introduced items like a 16^th century domestic chest and St George statue.  Key features are:

1.       Wall paintings on north wall.  Seven deadly sins (see Linkinhorne for seven acts of mercy), a very fragmentary St Michael weighing the souls with the Virgin Mary interceding by dropping her rosary beads in the scale pan (over north door) and a Warning to Sabbath Breakers or Sunday Christ.  The message of the last was ‘Don’t work on Sunday’.  Work tools are shown inflicting extra wounds on Christ.

2.  Section of rood screen with saints – St Philip, St Bartholomew, St Matthias, St Blaise (bishop with woolcomb), [lost], St Sitha, St Luke?, St Apollonia, some of whom also appear at Lanreath.  Recycled screen tracery survives with a few bench ends.

3.  Canopied niche by north aisle altar site.  Plainer piers of north chapel could be earlier or later in date than Cornish standard north aisle.

4.  Symbol of St Luke in medieval stained glass.

5.  Broken pillar piscina of Norman date.
