St. Iger's Chapel, Forge Row
St. Iger — the patron of smiths and the patron of those who keep the fires honest
A small stone chapel between the second forge and the third. The door is iron, made by Brenwall when he was an apprentice. The bell is small. The candle-stand has room for forty candles; rarely are forty lit at once.
— Pell, in the margin: St. Iger is the only saint with a forge-mark on his chasuble. The current chasuble is a hundred and twenty years old. The mark is still visible.
St. Velna's Chapel, Cellar Row
St. Velna — the patron of those who work below the surface
An older chapel, half-sunken into the lane. You step down to enter. The stones are damp. The candle-stand has room for thirty candles; on St. Velna's Day, all thirty are lit at once and the smell of beeswax fills the whole cellar quarter.
— Pell, in the margin: St. Velna was, the stories say, a woman who went down for the trapped miners and did not come up. The chapel is on the spot.
