Description
The Boum tomb, located 20 meters west of the former St Mark's Church, is a chest tomb dating from around 1852. It is made of Pennant stone and stands free of a plinth on small corner feet. The base of the tomb is separated from the chest by a groove and features sunk inscription panels. It has a heavy coped lid slab with an incised inscription commemorating Jane Boum, who died in 1852, along with her six children, of whom the eldest survived only to 15 months. The first-born was Frederick, who died in 1835, but the tomb was likely erected only after Jane's death.
