Monument to the Molyneux Family, Kensal Green Cemetery

The mausoleum of the Molyneux family, built in 1866, was designed by architect John Gibson and constructed by mason John Underwood. It is primarily made of pink Peterhead granite and Carrara marble, resting on a base of grey Rubislaw granite, and features a bronze panelled door. The structure is octagonal, with each side adorned with a crocketed gable topped with a finial. Each gable contains an arched opening with a trefoil-headed tympanum that holds a shield above panels of granite. The sides are divided by clusters of triple shafts with foliate capitals, which support praying angels and crocketed pinnacles. The upper section of the mausoleum includes a frieze decorated with trefoils and ballflower motifs, which once supported a squat spire. The southern door features eight panels, each with a six-pointed star and the family name 'Molyneux' along the stile. The mausoleum is enclosed by cast iron Gothic railings. An inscription on the structure reads: 'Edmund Molyneux, for many years her Britannic Majesty's Consul for the state of Georgia died in Paris...1864. This edifice over his remains was erected to his memory by his sorrowing widow and children.'
