II
Monument c.1846. Stone obelisk about 4 feet high to E.L.M.
Inscribed: "Erected in remembrance of a most dear and only
child who was suddently removed into eternity by a fall from
the adjacent cliff on the rocks beneath 28th August 1846".
Each face bears a biblical text variously:- "Reader prepare to
meet they doom for thou knowest not what a day may bring
forth", "Jesus said I am the resurrection and the life", "In
the midst of life we are in death" and "He cometh forth like a
flower and is cast down. He fleeth also as a shadow and
continueth not".
