Description
This chest tomb, located approximately 12 meters southwest of the Church of Saint Mylor, dates from the early 19th century. It was created for the children of Thomas C. Barron R.N. of H.M. Packet Service and his wife, Julia. The tomb is made of dressed white limestone and features a tall classical style chest resting on a square platform.
The chest has a chamfered base and a wide fielded 'dado' panel with concave corners. Above this is an ovolo 'chair-rail' moulding, with taller bolection moulded panels above. The corners are adorned with pilasters that have horizontal flutes, and it is topped with a moulded cornice and a plain square lid.
The east panel of the tomb is incised with the names of the children: Fanny Sophia, who died in 1821 at the age of 14; Eliz Suzanna, who died in 1823 at the age of 27; Emma Alice, who also died in 1823 at the age of 27 (likely twins); and Eliz Goinnavero, who died in 1827 at the age of 19.
