His real name was Theodore Cyril Bernard (TCB) De Lom, a Canadian graduate who worked in the British Civil Service. Known by all as ‘Caesar’, he came to live at Rosbeg, Westport after he retired. He died in February 1964 (and not in 1984 as some cemetery websites show) in the County Hospital and was buried in the Protestant Graveyard beside the TF. On his headstone is written that he was the ‘last Baron of Lom’ which was a Dutch title but goggling the ‘last Baron of Lom’ shows that the last Baron died in Vancouver in the same year. He also came to notice locally when a few months after his death, his then estranged wife successfully got a High Court injunction against his then partner, preventing her from removing family heirlooms from the jurisdiction of the Irish courts. These included two pencil sketches by Queen Victoria and a Breeches Bible, dated 1799 which he left in his will to his only daughter, a Mrs. Lilias Christjensen living in Canada. The title ‘Baron of Lom’ still remains a mystery.
