Description
The Kneebone headstones, located approximately 20 metres west of the Church of Saint Gwendron, consist of three headstones from the early 19th century. The left-hand stone is a round-headed incised granite monolith dedicated to D Kneebone, who died in 1819 at the age of 24. The middle stone is a granite monolith with a shaped head and an incised slate insert, which was detached at the time of the survey. It commemorates Francis Kneebone, who died in 1826 at the age of 65, along with his wife Jan, who died in 1820 at the age of 56, their daughter Grace, who died in 1825 at the age of 27, and their son William, who died in 1825 at the age of 19. The right-hand stone is an incised segmentally-headed granite monolith inscribed to P K of Trenear, who died in 1810 at the age of 21.
