More about this scene
A similar view to the one above, but this follows work carried out to the chancel by Sir Charles Nicholson in 1932. Note also the new screen on the right for the Lady Chapel. Military flags hang on the wall of the north aisle (left), for the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry has close associations with the town and church. The south aisle now displays the 12th-century reliquary casket of St Petroc, although it is empty. Two other notable fittings in the church are the carved Norman font and the Catacleuse stone tomb of Thomas Vyvian, the penultimate prior of Bodmin who died in 1533.
