Fix this textST. MICHAEL’S MOUNT. NEAR PENZANCE.
Fix this textCROM its position crowning a pyramidal rock of
Fix this textgranite in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall, three miles east of
Fix this textPenzance, St^3^hael’s. i *iitesents one of the
Fix this textmost remarkable edifices ip Great Britain. The chapel
Fix this textand the id. posses-
Fix this textsion of the St. 4pbin family since file sixteenth century.
Fix this textThe residence does not date beyond that period. Some
Fix this texthold that here Christianity was first brought to Eng-
Fix this textland about the fifth century. This, however, is at
Fix this textvariance with the pleasing legend that St. Joseph of
Fix this textArimathea, unde of our Lord, first introduced
Fix this textChristianity at Glastonbury, the Holy Child accom-
Fix this textpanying him. The legend continues that the Wattle
Fix this textChurch, the first in Britain, was erected at Glastonbury
Fix this textabout the year 63. Certain it is that the church on
Fix this textMount St Michael occupies the site of a Benedictine
Fix this textpriory founded by Edward the Confessor (1042-1066).
Fix this textThe Mount bears a curious likeness to its namesake
Fix this texton the French coast (Norman, by the way), though on
Fix this texta smaller scale. The base of the Mount, which rises
Fix this textto a height of 250 ft, is a mile in circumference. It is
Fix this textconnected with Marazion on the mainland by a cause-
Fix this textway covered by the tide eight hours out of twelve.
Fix this textThe ancient portion Of the buildings comprises a hall,
Fix this texta refectory, a perpendicular chapel and a tower, also
Fix this textperpendicular, with a Stone “lantern” in the south-west
Fix this textto ' •‘j .
Fix this textangle. This is actually the remains of the stone name*
Fix this textwork of a beacon fire-holder. This appendage, known
Fix this textas “St. Michael’s Chair,” is of great interest to the
Fix this texttourist, who is asked if he or she would care to sit in
Fix this textit. Such an attempt requires nerves of iron, though
Fix this textthe person making the effort is reminded of the legend
Fix this textwhich gives a husband or wife who succeeds complete
Fix this textrule in the future over his or her house. This story
Fix this textwould seem to be based on a keen knowledge of
Fix this texthumanity, for only a powerful will could force its
Fix this textowner to “take the chair.” Tire panorama of land
Fix this textand water as viewed from the Mount is of utmost
Fix this textgrandeur, one of the finest of the many noble coast
Fix this textviews Cornwall possesses.
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
