Description
The Mausoleum of Harvey Lewis, located in Brompton Cemetery, is a Grade II listed structure made of Portland stone with a cast-iron door. This square neo-classical mausoleum features a moulded plinth. The iron door on the south side has three deeply recessed panels, with the central panel displaying a shield embossed with the name 'Harvey Lewis'. The top ventilation panel is adorned with decorative openwork scrolls. Slim panels on either side of the door are mirrored on the other three sides, flanking large central panels. Each of the four sides has a pediment, and above the door, the tympanum displays the arms of Harvey Lewis, featuring an escutcheon with a lion passant on a chevron between three spearheads. This is topped with an ostrich-feather crest, and below it is the Welsh motto 'Bidd Lu Heb Lydd', meaning 'Unity and Strength'. The mausoleum is surrounded by railings, with posts that include neo-classical panels and pediments.
