Description
This headstone, located approximately 25 meters south of the east end of All Hallows Church of Saint Kea, was erected in 1805 to commemorate Thomas Martin by Isbell of Truro. It is made of dressed shaped granite and features an inscribed slate insert. The west face of the slab has a shaped head with an incised inscription in bold lettering that reads: "This stone records the first Burial in this Churchyard on Sunday Aug XI MD CC V." The current church, built in 1896, replaced an earlier church from 1802 designed by James Wyatt, and the churchyard dates back to that time. Very few tomb monuments remain from the earlier church at Old Kea, making the modest architectural features of the early 19th-century monuments in this churchyard historically significant for the parish.
