Description

The Tomb of Grace Percy, who died in 1880, is located in Kensal Green Cemetery and was designed by T. Woolner. It features a headstone and a coped ledger set on a moulded base made of flecked grey granite. The ledger is decorated with an incised cross. Woolner was a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, making this tomb a rare example of his work in commercial monument design.
