More about this scene
The parish church is of flint, with a large west tower. A tombstone in the churchyard records the burial of Alexander and Susan Roche, two of eleven people drowned when the 'Earl of Wemyss' ran aground here in a gale in August 1833. The inscription on the stone says that unscrupulous thieves plundered the bodies as they lay on the beach.
