Description

The Tomb of Robert Kirby, who died in 1839, is located in Kensal Green Cemetery. It features a pair of grey granite tomb chests topped with a tripartite cover. This cover consists of two shallow pyramids flanking a taller pyramid, which has an inscription and a crest shaped like an elephant's head. This tomb is notable for being one of the very earliest monuments to use polished granite on a large scale.
