Headstone To The Reverand Thomas Beverley At Approx 5M East Of All Hallows Church Of Saint Kea

This headstone, located approximately 5 meters east of All Hallows Church of Saint Kea, was erected in 1836 in memory of the Reverend Thomas Beverley, who served as the vicar of St. Kenwyn and Kea for twenty years. It was crafted by Isbell of Truro and features a dressed granite slab with an inscribed slate insert. The headstone has a square head and bears an incised inscription in Latin, detailing the Reverend Beverley's birth on September 29, 1752, and his death on April 7, 1836. The current church, built in 1896, replaced an earlier church from 1802 designed by James Wyatt, and the churchyard dates from that time. Few tomb monuments remain from the earlier church at Old Kea, making the modest architectural features of the early 19th-century churchyard monuments in this location historically significant for the parish.
