Jubilee Rock, Carved granite boulder on Pendrift Downs, Blisland, England.
Jubilee Rock is a carved granite boulder rising from Pendrift Downs near Blisland, featuring detailed stonework on its facing surfaces. The northern and southern sides display elaborate designs that have been worked into the stone over more than a century.
Lieutenant John Rogers carved the first designs between 1809 and 1810 to commemorate King George III's golden jubilee. Later craftsmen added further work to the stone, extending the monument's development throughout the 1800s.
The rock displays carved images of Britannia, royal emblems, and heraldic symbols of influential families from the area. These carvings reflect how local landowners connected themselves to the crown and national identity.
The site sits in an open moorland setting requiring sturdy footwear and weather protection. Visitors should plan time to examine the carved details from different angles to see the full range of the stonework.
A brass plate inscribed with verses composed by Rogers was originally fixed to the rock but is now displayed in Bodmin Town Museum. The plate offers insight into the creator's own words about the monument's meaning.
