Description
The Tomb of David Morris, who died in 1842, is located in Kensal Green Cemetery. It is made of artificial stone and is designed as a rectangular chest, referred to as a 'mausoleum' in the inscription. The tomb features angle pilasters and fielded inscription panels on each side, as well as corner anthemion acroteria. It has a sloping roof adorned with antefixes and an upper stage that includes a gadrooned flaming urn on a stepped base. Surrounding the tomb are cast iron railings that display an inverted torch motif. This structure is a late example of a Neo-classical artificial stone monument, following the Coade stone tradition.
