Brass family tomb, Brompton Cemetery

The Brass family tomb, located in Brompton Cemetery, is a Grade II listed structure made of Portland stone and features a bronze relief panel. This very tall headstone, approximately 2 meters high, is designed in the Free Classical style. It includes supporting volutes and an upper section with two short Ionic pilasters beneath a segmental pediment. The inset bronze relief, created in 1899 and signed by the sculptor A Stanley Young, depicts mourners at a death-bed. In front of the headstone is a raised ledger slab shaped like a scroll. The plot is defined by moulded copings, with miniature Ionic pilasters at the outer corners. Inscriptions in Art Nouveau bronze lettering honor Horace Lot (died 1896), his father Lot Brass (1854-1937), his mother Elizabeth Brass (1856-1939), and his brother, the lawyer and civil servant Sir Leslie Brass (1891-1958).
