Anyone thinking of visiting Quilty should look out for 4 mosaics depicting the shipwreck of the Leon which were commissioned by the Leon Festival committee last year and were completed by a friend of mine, Richard Sharp who lives in the village, they are magnificient! The mosaics are located on the wall opposite the Quilty Tavern. There is also a description of the incident in the nearby Star of the Sea church, also the ship's brass bell which was recovered.
