Description

The Rusden Memorial in Weaste Cemetery is a Grade II listed memorial dedicated to members of the Rusden family, dating from around 1870. It is constructed of stone and features a stepped base that supports a canopy. This canopy is adorned with trefoiled arches, which are held up by engaged shafts.

This memorial is part of an important group of monuments within the cemetery.
