Description
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.
