I was out on a job today and saw this interesting memorial in the grounds of St Helens Church.
There are two cannon balls at the base that have been made into vases and the impact of a cannon ball can be clearly seen on the granite block. It was erected around 1858.
Here are the words cut into the face of the stone – click on the image for a full-sized version.
I have increased the contrast in this mono image to make the text more readable.
