Description
The Elliot and Partridge monuments are a pair of headstones located against the south wall of the churchyard, approximately 20 metres south of the south aisle of the Church of St Bartholomew in Lostwithiel. The headstones date from the 18th and early 19th centuries and are made of slate.
The headstone for Thomas Elliott, dated 1746, features an incised stepped nowy head above the inscription panel, with a skull and crossed bones in each spandrel. The headstone for Elizabeth Partridge, dated 1823 and created by Corney of Bodmin, includes carved pilasters and a frieze topped with a cherub's head and wings, along with the motto: "Time how short, Eternity how long," which is further embellished at the top corners.
