Monument to Admiral Sir Robert Waller Otway, Kensal Green Cemetery

The monument to Admiral Sir Robert Waller Otway is a very large square Gothic pedestal tomb located in Kensal Green Cemetery. It features three stages with sloping off-sets and is placed diagonally on a square pavement. At the top, there is a foliate cross set on an octagonal base. The lower stage includes four engaged corner piers adorned with trefoil panels. The main inscription honors Otway for his sixty-two years of service in the English navy, highlighting his perseverance and dedication to his sovereign and country, as well as his significant professional accomplishments and his kindness. Below this, there is an inscription from John 6:37: "All that the father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." Additional inscriptions commemorate Otway's wife, Clementina, who passed away in 1851, and their daughter, Clementina Matilda, who died in 1877.
