Description
The ledger stone of Mark Boddy and the headstone of William Laskey are located against a wall, 1 metre east and 1.5 metres southeast of the chancel of the Church of St Petroc. The ledger stone commemorates Mark Boddy, who died in 1735, and his son Humphrey, who died in 1778. It is a rectangular slate stone featuring a marginal inscription and a second marginal inscription within, with an incised nowy-headed design decorated with angel's heads and a verse. The headstone belongs to William Laskey Clark, the late rector of Trevalga, who passed away in 1795 at the age of 48, leaving behind a wife and 14 children. This rectangular slate headstone includes the verse: "Dear Wife now my life is past / Your love to me so long did last / No sorrow for me do not take / But love my children for my sake." Both stones have been reset and are positioned against a stone wall to the southeast of the church.
