White stone memorial to Admiral Hood with verse by Robert Southey above sculpture by Lucius Gahagan Tec. Bath. Sacred to the memory of Arthur Hood Esqr Lieutenant lost at sea 1795 Alexander Hood Esqr Captain killed in action 1798 of the Royal Navy, and Sir Samuel Hood Baronet nominated Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Sword, Knight Grand Cross of the order of St. Ferdinand and of Merit, Vice Admiral of the White Colonel of Marines and late Commander in Chief of His Majesties Fleet in the East Indies Died at Madras 1814 and was buried there with public honors. Divided far by death were they whose names/ in honour here united as in birth/this monumental verse records they drew/ among the western hills their natal breath/ and from those shores beheld the ocean first/ whereon in early youth with one accord/ they chose their way of fortune; to that course/ by HOOD and BRIDPORT's bright example drawn/ their kinsmen, children of this place, and sons/ of one who in his faithful ministry/ inculcated within these hallowed walls/ the truths of mercy to mankind reveal'd/ worthy were these three brethren each to add/ new honour to the already honoured name/ but Arthur in the morning of his day/ perished amid the Caribbean Sea/ when the Pomona by a hurricane/ whirled, Riven, and overwhelmed with all her crew/ into the deep went down, a longer date/ to Alexander was assigned for hope/ for fair ambition, and for fond regret/ alas how short for duty, for dessert/ sufficing, and while time preserves the roll/ of Britain's Naval feats, for good report/ a boy with Cook he rounded the Globe./ A youth in many celebrated fight/ with Rodney had his part; and having reach'd/ life's middle stage, engaging ship to ship,/ when the French Hercules, a gallant foe,/ struck to the British Mars his three striped flag,/ he fell in the moment of his victory/ here his remains in sure and certain hope/ are laid until the hour when earth and sea/ shall render up their dead. One brother yet/ survived, with Keppel, and with Rodney train'd/ in battles with the Lord of Nile approved,/ 'ere in command he worthily upheld/ old England's high prerogative in the East,/ the West, the Baltic and the Midland Seas/ yea wheresoever hostile fleets have plough's/ the ensanguin'd deep his thunders have been heard,/ his flag in brave defiance has been seem/ and bravest enemies at Sir Samuel's name/ felt fatal presage in their inmost heart/ of unavertable defeat fordoom'd/ thus in the paths of glory he rode on/ victorious, always adding praise to praise,/ till full of honours, not of years, beneath/ the venom of the infected clime he sunk/ on Coromandel's Coast, completing there/ his service only when his life was spent./ To the three brethren Alexander's son/ (sole scion he in whom their line survived)/ with English feeling and the deeper sense/ of filial duty consecrates this tomb. A relief at the base of the memorial shows Samuel Hood as Captain of the Frigate 'Juno' rescuing three sailors from a wreck in St. Anne's harbour, Jamaica on 3 February 1791 P |
