Between Ludgvan and Perran-uthnoe intervenes the parish of S. Hilary. The church is devoid of interest, but there are inscribed stones in the churchyard. On the village inn may be read the invitation:--
"THE JOLLY TINNERS."
"Come, all true Cornish boys, walk in,
Here's Brandy, Beer, Rum, Shrub, and Gin.
You cannot do less than drink success
To Copper, Fish, and Tin."
A local riddle asked is:--
"As I went down by Hilary's steeple
I met three people.
They were not men, nor women, nor children.
