A plaque on this stack shows, Cape Cornwall purchased for the nation by H J Heinz Co. LTD to mark their Centenary Year. Presented to the National Trust 25 March 1987.
 
Despite my certain reservations, we are so very lucky in this country to have such an organisation as The National Trust, along with English Heritage and fine institutions such as The British Museum and The National Archives, et al. They are the finest in the world. We are lucky to be living in this country.
