Description
this tomb is in Hereford Cathedral, from a visit 2 years ago. the details are so interesting.. this must have been a woman from an important wealthy family to have been buried in a cathedral. I would think this dates from the 14thc ..but if anyone has a better dating..thanks!
Thanks for your comments on recent efforts1 Jeanx

Great shot!
I did find info about the tomb of Joanna de Bohun, a Countess of Hereford. She died in 1327. interesting as it is one of only a few secular burials within the cathedral. She was a great benefactor of the cathedral, giving much land which provided an endowment for 10 new vicars, ( 8 priests, a deacon and a subdeacon) with specific duties in the Lady Chapel where she is buried. The de Bohun family was very powerful in the Welsh Marches...borders of Eng and Wales. I contacted the library of the cathedral this morning, emailed the photo, and had the info. Sheds a little more light on 600+ean years ago!.....J
