About the memorial: An obelisk on a plinth with inscriptions on three sides with a three-tiered base. The memorial is within the grounds of the free church building, but this appears to be closed and semi-derelict. However there were wreaths at the memorial so presumably it is still tended. The church is up the hill to the west of the beach, but the road from the main road is single-track. It was relocated here in the opening years of the 21st century. If you look closely when they put it back together they misaligned the obelisk.
