Negotium Perambulans ... is a 1923 short story by English author E F Benson. The weird tale describes the return of a retired London barrister to Polearn, a fishing community in West Cornwall where he had lived from age 10 to thirteen. - AsNotedIn
It is described there, in a couple of unattractive lines, as a small fishing village with a church of no particular interest except for certain carved and painted wooden panels (originally belonging to an earlier edifice) which form an altar-rail. E F Benson, Negotium Perambulans
