Description
The tomb of John Gordon, who passed away in 1840, is located in Kensal Green Cemetery. It features a tomb chest made of Portland stone with a York stone base. Originally, there was an urn on a pedestal within a canopy, which was supported by four tapering square columns. The canopy is adorned with acroteria shaped like Egyptian heads and displays an emblem of a butterfly and a tail-biting snake on its north face. The design closely resembles Parisian tombs, such as Moliere's monument in Pere Lachaise cemetery. The tomb has a two-stage base with a slab in front.
