35 1718 DANIEL LOMBARD

LANTEGLOS with Camelford is one of the richest livings in Cornwall. Lanteglos itself is nearly two miles from Camelford, and in this latter place there is neither a church nor a licensed chapel. A few scattered farms are about Lanteglos ; and in Camelford, which is a market town, there is a population of 1370, left to be ministered to in holy things by dissenting ministers of many sects.

The rectory of Lanteglos lies in a valley, amidst luxuriant vegetation, and is altogether a very snug spot indeed.

In February, 17 18, the Rev. Daniel Lombard was inducted into this living on the presentation of the Prince of Wales. He was a Frenchman, the son of a Huguenot pastor, who had fled from his native land

on the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Daniel had been placed in Merchant Taylors' School, and thence had passed to S. John's College, Oxford, where he had taken his degree of Doctor of Divinity, and he became chaplain to the Princess of Wales, and in 1 7 14 published a sermon that he had preached before the Princess Sophia at Hanover. He spent a good deal of time in Germany, and there made the acquaint- ance of Mr. Gregor, of Trewarthenick, with whom in after life he maintained a lengthy correspondence, still extant.

From all accounts Dr. Lombard was learned on certain lines, but he was totally unacquainted with the ways of the world, utterly unsuited to be a parish priest, and lost completely in the isolation of Lanteglos, far from society in which he could shine ; and speaking English badly with a foreign accent.

After his institution by the Bishop of Exeter to the livings of Lanteglos juxta Camelford and that of Advent, Dr. Lombard started off to reach his cure, mounted on one horse, and his servant on another, driving a third laden with such articles as appeared to him to be indispensable in a country where he supposed that nothing was procurable. He rode in this manner along the highway past

Launceston, inquiring everywhere, " Vere ish Landeglo juxta Camelvore ? " No one had heard of the place ; after some consideration the rustics pointed due west. He must go on one or two days' journey more. He thus travelled through Camelford, still inquiring " Mais ou done est Landeglo juxta Camelvore ? " " I know what he means," said some of those ques- tioned ; "the gentleman is seeking the Land's End." And so he travelled on and ever on till he reached the Land's End, and only then discovered that he had passed through his cure without knowing it. When at last he reached Lanteglos rectory, the woman who acted as housekeeper showed him with much pride a hen surrounded by a large brood of chickens. 11 Deare me!" exclaimed the Doctor. "'Ow can von liddle moder afford to give milk from her breast to soche a large familie ? " Seeing sheep with red ruddle on their fleeces, " Pore things !" said he. " 'Ow 'ot dey do seem to be ! Dey be red 'ot ! "

He collected a tolerable library of books, and occupied himself with writing one work in French, a Dissertation on the Utility of History, introductory to strictures on certain histories that had been published by De Mezeray and the Pere Daniel. But he also wrote in English A Succinct History of Ancient and Modern Persecutions, together with a short essay on Assassinations and Civil Wars, 1747.

He died at Camelford, December 14, 1746, and left his library for the use of his successor. S.(Sabine) Baring-Gould. Cornish characters and strange events (page 30 of 57)?

He died at Camelford on 30 Dec. 1746, and was buried at Lanteglos on 2 Jan. 1746-7?

36 1747 WILLIAM PHILLIPS

No wonder the making of the Camelford turnpike road in 1759 was taken up as a matter of public interest. To assist the undertaking, the Rev. William Phillips, Rector of Lanteglos, in 1759 cut with his own hands the figures on the granite milestones now standing on the Camelford road between Watergate and Fivelanes. The stones were erected by the minister, who used the road every Sunday. They are intended to serve as guides in misty weather; a longer stone occurs at intervals of ½ mile, and is marked on the Watergate side with the letter W, and on that towards Fivelanes with the letter F. By an Act of Parliament in 1744, it was made compulsory to erect milestones on main roads, which work was completed by 1773.

Sacred to the memory of the Reverend William Phillips clerk M A who died on the 20^th day of April 1794 being Easter Sunday in the year of this age and 17^th anniversary of this institution as rector of the parish a period, which will be ever held dear by its inhabitants.

Reader stop and contemplate with awe this simple marble consecrated to the ashes of a worthy individual to whose remains it is erected by his nephew John Phillips Carpenter as a small, but grateful tribute to a generous benefactor.

Of no distemper of no blast he died, but like autumn from mellowed long he fell and even wondered that he dropped no sooner fate seemed to wind him up for three score years, but freely ran on to ten years more till like a clock worn out with eating time. The wheels of weary life stood still.

Near this place lie also deposited the remains of John Phillips and Elizabeth his wife and John Phillip, Elizabeth Phillips and Charles Phillips, their children

Buried in Bridestowe church
