The Boyle Cross This monument, originally a fountain, was erected in 1871 by the Hon. and Rev. R. C. Boyle, rector of Marston Ingot, as a token of his affection for Frome. It was designed by his wife, the Hon. Mrs. E. V. Boyle, artist and author, well-known to the Victorians as E. V. B. The cross, of red Devon marble, weighs a ton and took six months to carve. The sculptor was Joseph Chapman of Frome. The site was given by Richard, 9th Earl of Cork and Orrery, Lord of the Manor of Frome. This plaque, to replace the worn inscriptions, was given by G. H. Boyle, great-grandson of E. V. B., and the Frome Society for Local Study, 1st May 1977. "God's providence is my inheritance"
