Erected to the memory and to record the disastrous death of Thomas and Sarah Pincombe of this Parish and their youthful family of 6 sons & daughters; all of whom perished by shipwreck together with 187 of their fellow passengers. The calamitous event happened on the Manacle rocks near St Keverne, coast of Cornwall, on the night of the 3rd of May 1855, within six hours after the lamented victims had left the harbour of Plymouth as Emigrants on their voyage to Quebec.

Come sudden death by flood or flame
Who trust in a Redeemer's name
Are still secure for the ones on high
And wait their entrance to the sky
