A stone, dated 1570, from the earlier building on the site. It bears the initial words of Psalm 107 from the King James Bible. "They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep." Mariners of the time would know that it continues: "For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven."
