The waymark coordinates are for the main door to the Bath Abbey. GPS receivers will not work inside the Abbey.
This memorial is located along the north side of the sanctuary of the Bath Abbey.
It is beautifully carved of marble, with a clear Navy theme. What appears to be the arms of a Navy anchor behind the plaque, is actually the prow and keel of a steam sloop!
The memorial reads as follows:
"Sacred to the memory of
MATTHEW CONNOLLY
Capt., Royal Navy.
Who died 7 February 1833
in his 77th year.
He was a dutiful son, and affectionate brother, and a strictly honest man."
