Stone Inscription:

Sacred
To the memory of a son and daughter of
Reginald and Ann Barrett
of Polperro
William Barrett
Died the 7th day of March 1793,
Aged 17 Days

Such Age from Sin is surely free,
And fit for Saints Society.

Jenny Barrett
Died the 5th day of August 1801 aged 6 years

A pale Conƒumption gave the fatal Blow,
The ƒtroke was certain but th’ effect was ƒlow.
With waƒting pain Death saw me thus oppreƒt
Pited my ƒighs and kindly brought me Reƒt.
