Chest tomb. Circa 1850. To John Harvey, who established a foundry at Hayle, died
1803 aged 73 ; Joanna (Pearce) died 1807, aged 73 and Henry their son, died 1850 aged
73, after an active life in which he largely developed the harbour of Hayle together
with the foundry and the trade at that port. Dressed and polished granite.
Rectangular-on-plan sarcophagus chest standing within an outer kerb with fence. The
chest has a moulded plinth and cornice and hipped lid ; the fence has 8 cast-iron
trust stanchions with acanthus plinths and ball finials carrying chains with
alternate rectangular and spiked links. The ironwork is presumably by the family
firm (Harveys of Hayle).
