Description
The tomb of James Meadows Rendel, who died in 1856, is located in Kensal Green Cemetery and was designed by architect Matthew Digby Wyatt. It features a pink Peterhead granite sarcophagus, which is a rectangular chest set on a moulded base. The sides of the sarcophagus have raised borders adorned with foliate cross decorations, and it is topped with a gabled cover that includes Byzantine crosses within pediments at each end. This design was exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1856. Rendel was a notable marine engineer known for his work on various dock and railway projects, including the harbours at Holyhead and Portland, as noted in the inscription on the tomb.
