Description

The tomb of Major General Sir William Casement, Knight Commander of the Bath, is located in Kensal Green Cemetery and was designed by E M Lander. Sir William Casement died in 1844. The tomb features a tall base made of Portland stone that supports a coffin chest draped with Casement's cloak. On top of the chest are his bicorn hat and sword. A canopy adorned with lotus leaf decoration is supported by four atlantes, which are figures resembling Indian bearers, each wearing a turban and crossing their arms. The tomb is enclosed by cast iron railings designed to resemble cannon barrels. Sir William Casement was a prominent official in the government of Bengal and passed away just before his return to Britain. He has a similar monument in Calcutta that bears the same inscription.
