Description
The Cunaide Memorial is a gravestone dating from the 6th century, located in the King George VI Memorial Plantation in Hayle. It consists of an inscribed granite slab that has been reset with a 19th-century slate slab over it. The inscription has been deciphered to read: "HIC CENVI REQVIE VII CV NAT DO HIC TVMVLO IACIT VIXIT ANNOS XXXII." It is believed to commemorate a woman named Cunaide, or possibly her husband, and is recognized as the earliest Christian memorial known in Cornwall, according to the Hayle Town Trail by Brian Sullivan.
