GV II*
Chest tomb above brick vault. Dating from the death of Constable's wife in 1828, restored 1976. Marble. Rectangular plan on stepped base. Clasping pilasters with incised enrichment. Inscribed on north, east and west sides to the memory of John Constable, painter, his wife Maria Elizabeth and 7 children. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: attached cast-iron railings with urn finials surrounding the tomb. HISTORICAL NOTE: Constable took summer lodgings in Hampstead for his family from 1819 and from 1827 a permanent residence until his death in 1837. The high grade is a reflection of the importance of Constable to English painting, and the significance of Hampstead and its heath in his work.
