    This pit was originally a stone quarry but was transformed into a place of worship when a storm threatened the village chapel and safety was sought in the shelter of the pit.

    In 1846, a flood caused by localised, torrential rain killed 39 men and boys at the nearby East Wheal Rose Mine. The preaching pit was terraced and dedicated as a memorial to all those who died in the tragedy.
