Memorial in Conistone Churchyard to six young men who lost their lives in Mossdale Caverns. They were of David Adamson aged 26, Geoffrey Warren Boireau aged 24, William Frakes aged 19, John Ogden aged 20, Michael John Ryan aged 17, Colin Richard Vickers aged 23, who rest up the hillside in Mossdale Caverns where they died 24th June 1967. 'I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my strength' is the inscription. These young cavers were sought for extensively by the Cave Rescue Organisation at the time but were never found. Because of the dangerous water levels in the caverns it was decided to close these by blocking off the entrances and the bodies were left in the caverns as a permanent resting place.
