Description
The monument to General William Booth and his wife Catherine is located in Abney Park Cemetery. It is made of sandstone and features a shield that has been renewed, with gilt lettering, situated behind a kerbed plot.

This monument is listed due to their significant contributions to the development of non-conformity in the late Victorian era.
