BODMIN.
The county town of Cornwall is built on the side of a hill descending into a valley, and consists mainly of one old-fashioned street about a mile long. The church is the largest in the county, and has an old Norman font and a few traces of Norman work near the west door, but has been so often modernised that little else of antiquity now remains. The Priory also is modern, but occupies the site of one founded by Athelstan in 936. An ancient British fortress may be seen at Castle Canyke (King's Castle), about a mile from the town. It was at Bodmin that Sir Anthony Kingston, the king's Provost-Marshal, dined and made merry with the mayor after the defeat of Perkin Warbeck, and then going out with him to look at a new gallows, without the least notice hanged him thereon as "a busy rebel,"
