'Mind-boggling': Abuse victim reported priest but he was never defrocked
By Loretta Lohberger

Altarnun, Cornwall

Church contains a fabulous collection of 79 bench ends from 1510-1530. This, the first to be seen when entering, says: 'Robert Daye maker of this worke & William Bokyngham Curate John Hodge Clerk'. People assume Robert Daye to be the carver but in class-ridden C16 a lowly carver would not be named above the Curate and Clerk. So Daye is the donor who 'caused to be made' this or all 79 bench ends, though the unnamed carver deserves much credit.

A carved wood bench end with an angel holding a shield on which the words are written. Only the top half of the angel is visible. They have long hair but no halo and their wings rise above their head. On their chest is written IHS.

"This tower is the only remnant of a church, the original Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie, owing its name and function to the foundation of a chapel in the 12th century. The main body of the church disappeared towards the end of the 18th century."

The image captures a striking Gothic architecture, featuring an imposing tower that rises dramatically against a dark, moody sky. The structure is characterized by intricate stone carvings, spires, and pointed arches, all of which convey a sense of grandeur and historical significance. The monochromatic color scheme enhances the tower’s dramatic silhouette, adding to the overall sense of mystery and somber beauty. The clouds surrounding the tower are swirling, creating a dynamic backdrop that suggests an impending storm or an atmosphere laden with tension. This juxtaposition of the sturdy, ornate architecture with the ominous sky might evoke feelings of awe or contemplation regarding the passage of time and human creativity. Symbolically, such structures often represent faith, resilience, or ambition, standing as monuments to human endeavor throughout history. The tower seems to reach toward the heavens, inviting interpretations related to spirituality or the quest for knowledge. Overall, the image exudes a powerful blend of history, artistry, and emotion.
