Revd. E. Patrick Parkes: Commemoration of the restored Peacock-Cookson memorial in the Churchyard.
The broken cross on top of this stepped, pink marble monument, reminds us of the life cut short of Christopher Denys Peacock Cookson, 1926-1944. The young Lieutenant died In action in WWII at Westkapelle, Walcheren and was buried at sea. He was the great grandson of Captain George Peacock.
(Captain Peacock, explorer and inventor, retired to Regent's House in Starcross, from where, in 1860, he commissioned his pleasure yacht in the form of a Swan, which was moored near to Starcross Pier in the Exe Estuary )
