Description
There are two headstones located approximately 30 meters east of All Hallows Church of Saint Kea. The north stone dates from 1812 and is dedicated to Edward Woolcock, while the south stone is from 1815 and honors Hopson Woolcock. Both headstones are made of slate and feature cyma-shaped heads. The west-facing inscriptions are incised in fat face lettering. The north stone commemorates Edward, son of Hopson and Mary Woolcock, who died in 1819 at the age of 52, and the south stone marks the grave of Hopson Woolcock, who died in 1815 at the age of 54. 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 have survived from the earlier church at Old Kea, making the modest 19th-century churchyard monuments historically significant for the parish.
