Publication Details
White, J. T. The history of Torquay. Torquay: Directory Co., 1878. p. 301.In the churchyard is a memorial to the late Mr. McEnery, Roman Catholic priest at Torre Abbey, whose researches at Kent's Cavern first drew the attention of scientific men to the remarkable character of its contents. Beneath the tree on the north side of the church is a stone to the memory of Mary Abbott, wife of Joseph Abbott; she died on the 25th of June, 1777, aged 100 or 103 years. The stone was renovated a few years ago by Mr. John Abbot, who believes that the real age of his relative was 103, but the unit figure was partially obliterated.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
