Gerard Collier is remembered in St Hilary’s Church, near Marazion, by a poignant reredos memorial in the Chapel of All Souls, created and designed by his friend and Newlyn artist Ernest Procter.  His chest tomb just inside the new cemetery is Grade II listed.  He was a great friend of Father Bernard Walke, the charismatic and controversial Vicar of St Hilary , working closely with him in the immediate post WW1 years.  This is the story of how Gerard came to be buried in St Hilary and an account of his brief years in Marazion and Penzance until his untimely death aged 43.
