Tomb Of George And Sarah Kett At Mill Road Cemetery

The tomb of George and Sarah Kett, located at Mill Road Cemetery, dates from around 1872. It is made of white marble with green marble insets. The monument features a low plinth with inscriptions on its sloping sides and a green marble top. Atop this is a full-length and width cross, intricately carved with passion flowers, leaves, and a crown. The headstone is surmounted by a quatrefoil and has an inscription on a carved ribbon. The headstone includes inscriptions for George Kett, who died in 1872, his wife Sarah, who died in 1883, and their son Frederick James. The Kett family was associated with Rattee and Kett, a renowned Cambridge firm of woodcarvers and architectural craftsmen, and it is likely that this tomb was created by them. This tomb is part of a group that includes the tomb of Elizabeth and George Kett, as well as the nearby tombs of Rattee and Moyes.
