Description
The Tomb of the Clement Family, located in Brompton Cemetery, is a Grade II listed monument made of Bath stone. It is designed in a large Gothic Revival style, featuring a chest tomb with a pitched-roofed canopy. The tomb has a rectangular base and a moulded lid, with the sides adorned with blind quatrefoils. The eastern panel includes two quatrefoils that bear inscriptions in capital letters commemorating John Turner Clement, who died in 1876, and his wife Mary, who died in 1871. Another inscription honors their son John Villiers Clement, who passed away in 1882.
On top of the lid rests a stone ledger slab with a pitched surface and a cross on its ridge, dedicated to Adelaide Seale Mackeson, who died in 1854. The steep-pitched canopy is open on the sides and features four centred-arched openings with hood mouldings and carved stops. A frieze of blind trefoils runs along the sides, and the two gable ends display Early English-style tracery with clusters of columns that have stiff-leaf capitals. Each gable end features an inscribed trefoil: the west side reads "The family vault of John Turner Clement," while the east side is dedicated to Clement's daughter Adelaide, the same Adelaide Seale Mackeson noted on the stone slab. Additionally, the York stone landing slab is inscribed with "Family Vault of J T Clement."
