PURPLE PARA  

ST. MICHAEL’S MOUNT. NEAR PENZANCE.  

CROM its position crowning pyramidal rock of  

granite in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall, three miles east of  

Penzance, St^3^hael’s. *iitesents one of the  

most remarkable edifices ip Great Britain. The chapel  

and the id. posses-  

sion of the St. 4pbin family since file sixteenth century.  

The residence does not date beyond that period. Some  

hold that here Christianity was first brought to Eng-  

land about the fifth century. This, however, is at  

variance with the pleasing legend that St. Joseph of  

Arimathea, unde of our Lord, first introduced  

Christianity at Glastonbury, the Holy Child accom-  

panying him. The legend continues that the Wattle  

Church, the first in Britain, was erected at Glastonbury  

about the year 63. Certain it is that the church on  

Mount St Michael occupies the site of Benedictine  

priory founded by Edward the Confessor (1042-1066).  

The Mount bears curious likeness to its namesake  

on the French coast (Norman, by the way), though on  

smaller scale. The base of the Mount, which rises  

to height of 250 ft, is mile in circumference. It is  

connected with Marazion on the mainland by cause-  

way covered by the tide eight hours out of twelve.  

The ancient portion Of the buildings comprises hall,  

refectory, perpendicular chapel and tower, also  

perpendicular, with Stone “lantern” in the south-west  

to •‘j  

angle. This is actually the remains of the stone name*  

work of beacon fire-holder. This appendage, known  

as “St. Michael’s Chair,” is of great interest to the  

tourist, who is asked if he or she would care to sit in  

it. Such an attempt requires nerves of iron, though  

the person making the effort is reminded of the legend  

which gives husband or wife who succeeds complete  

rule in the future over his or her house. This story  

would seem to be based on keen knowledge of  

humanity, for only powerful will could force its  

owner to “take the chair.” Tire panorama of land  

and water as viewed from the Mount is of utmost  

grandeur, one of the finest of the many noble coast  

views Cornwall possesses.
