Memorial Stone At Approx 25M East Of Church Of Saint Mylor

This memorial stone, dated 1814, is located approximately 25 meters east of the Church of Saint Mylor. It is made of painted freestone and is set on a granite base. The stone features a ramped arched head with ovolo corners. On the west face, there is a moulded border that frames an incised inscription, which is positioned below a ramped arched moulded cornice. The stone also includes a carving of a sailing ship in a storm, depicted with robust wave carving and a cloud with lightning in the tympanum. The ship shows stumps of masts, suggesting it may have originally been rigged or partly rigged.

The inscription reads: "To the Memory of the WARRIORS Women and Children, who on their return to England from the Coast of Spain; unhappily perished in the Wreck of the Queen Transport, on Trefusis Point, JanY 14, 1814. This stone is erected as a Testimony of regret for their fate by the Inhabitants of this Parish." This memorial stone is noted for its historical significance.
