Description

The monument to Alfred Stevens, who died in 1875, is located in Highgate (Western) Cemetery. It is designed in a coved Renaissance style and made of Portland stone, featuring fish-scale ornamentation. The monument is topped with a cast-iron slab that has raised lettering. The epitaph describes Stevens as an 'ARTIST AND SCULPTOR' and notes that he created the monument to the Duke of Wellington in St Paul's Cathedral. Stevens was a prominent figure in the Renaissance style during mid-Victorian England, and the Wellington monument, completed in 1912, is considered his masterpiece. This sarcophagus is a version of the one found within the Wellington monument and was made by Stevens's assistant.
