Summary

Description
English: Marble mural monument, made by John Thomas (1813–1862) of Bristol, "J. Thomas, Bristol", in the parish church of Molland in Devon, England, inscribed as follows:
This tablet is erected to the memory of Frances Dovell, aged 47 years, and William Quartly Dovell, aged 12 years (youngest daughter and grandson of the late Henry Quartly and Elizabeth his wife of this parish) the beloved wife and son of Captn. William Dovell of the Port of Bristol, who unfortunately perished by shipwreck on the night of the 19th Dec. 1850 on their voyage to the West Indies. The unfortunate occurrence took place at Lage near Corunna in Spain, when 16 persons, constituting with but one exception the whole crew and passengers of the ship "Adelaide", found a watery grave. Captn. Dovell, the bereaved survivor of this mournful event, who was most miraculously rescued, now a widower and childless, here records his enduring grief".
Captain Dovell's wife was a daughter of Henry Quartly (1755-1840) (whose mural monument also exists within St Mary's Church in Molland), one of that family famous for having established during the period of the Napoleonic Wars, the breed of Devon Cattle at Great Champson and West Molland Barton, both within the parish of Molland, as tenants of the Throckmorton family. The Adelaide is recorded as "Memorial M3147" on the "Maritime Memorials" database of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.
