In 1821 when that Church was pulled down this Stone was left in the Church yard. * * It has since been removed to the garden of Mr Moore at Corsewall. It is of Gray whinstone, carved on one side with armorial bearings, in so rude and primitive a style, that the figures can only be conjectured. - There is the appearance of a shield, on which an Animal is sculptured, surrounded by a cornucopia. A large cross, with some resemblance to the maltese cross, surmounts the shield on the lower part of which there appears to be two supporters, one resembling a fish the other a serpent. On the other side of the stone is a figure whose Arms are extended on a Cross, and beneath it another figure with the scarcely discernable appearance of an Animal by its side. Statistical Acct.
