Description
The Sturtridge monument is a headstone located in the churchyard about 9 metres southeast of the south aisle of the Church of St Brevita in Lanlivery. This 18th-century slate headstone features a segmental head, decorated with carved symbols representing death and resurrection, including cherubs, trumpets, a skull and crossed bones, a heart pierced by arrows, an hourglass, a scythe, and a primitive cherub holding a trumpet and book. The stone is signed by Plympton and includes well-crafted lettering along with valedictory verses that read: "Affliction for long time I bore, Physicians were in vain... To Benjamin Sturtridge, 1768."
