Jubilee Rock

Jubilee Rock is a Grade II listed large rock on Pendrift Downs in the parish of Blisland, Cornwall, England. On the north side is carved the Falmouth and Morshead coat of arms and the Molesworth coat of arms on the south side.[1] It was originally decorated in 1810 by Lieut. John Rogers to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the accession of King George III[2] and was restored in 1859 and 1887. Two more inscriptions have been added: these commemorate the golden jubilees of Queen Victoria (1887) and of Queen Elizabeth II (2002).[3]

Jubilee Rock Blisland in Cornwall

It is considered to be the oldest stone on Bodmin Moor. It is 10 feet high and 25 feet across[4] and stands at 213 metres above sea level.[5]

One author has implied that Jubilee Rock was previsouly a Logan stone[6] although the quoted source indicates that the dimensions are significantly different casting doubt on the assertion.
