Notes	Monument. Between 1834-47. Devonian limestone ashlar. Square pedestal with chamfered plinth, panelled sides and flat projecting cap. Panel on north side incised with inscription TO THE UNKNOWN DEAD. The monument stands in the front garden of Berry Head House (now the Berry Head Hotel (qv)), which was occupied by the Rev HF Lyte, author of the hymn 'Abide with Me', between 1834 and 1847. Gregory says that Lyte erected the monument: 'whilst engaged in levelling a mound of earth for gardening purposes (he) came across a quantity of human bones, which were at once covered up, and commemorated as just stated'. The monument, or a structure in approximately the same position, seems to be shown on the Brixham tithe map of 1838. (Gregory C: Brixham in Devonia: Totnes: 1896-: 78; 1838-: BRIXHAM TITHE MAP).
