Galli Family Memorial In Beckett Street Cemetery At Ngr 3202 3465

The Galli Family Memorial, located in Beckett Street Cemetery, was built around 1864 and is designed in the Gothic Revival style. It features a chamfered polygonal base that supports a central column and an outer ring of columns, which have ringed bases and floral-decorated capitals. These columns carry pointed arches beneath gablets topped with fleur-de-lis finials, surrounding an offset tapering stage. Above this, there is another ring of similar but simpler columns, arches, and gablets, culminating in a spire adorned with banded fish-scale decoration, crocketing, and a large finial. The central column includes inscriptions commemorating Ellen, the wife of Joseph Galli, who died in 1864 at the age of 25; their child Maria Teresa, who died in 1870 at the age of 6; Lucy, the wife of Andrea Joseph Galli, who died in 1896; Joseph Robert Galli, who died in 1883 at the age of 10; and Andrea Joseph Galli, who died in 1888.
