Description
The John Broome monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard of the Church of St. Mary, approximately 2 meters west of the tower.

The tomb is constructed from limestone and sandstone and is designed in the form of a sarcophagus resting on four square sandstone feet. It features sunken inscription panels on either side and is topped with a stepped pyramidal capping made of sandstone and limestone. An urn is depicted in relief at the west end of the tomb. Surrounding the monument is a cast iron railing adorned with spear-head and urn finials.
