Description

The Tomb of Mary Gibson, who died in 1856, is located in Kensal Green Cemetery and was created by the mason J S Farley. It is made of Carrara marble and features a coped coffin adorned with a frieze of lilies. The coffin is set within an open aedicule supported by twelve Corinthian columns, with three columns at each corner. Above this structure is a baldachino that was originally supported by four angels holding a crown. The tomb has a stepped base with marble posts and is considered one of the most flamboyant Victorian cemetery monuments.
