Description
The Tomb of the Earl of Galloway, who died in 1834, was constructed in 1838 by J B Papworth. It features a sarcophagus made of Portland stone, designed as a massive chest with tapering pilasters set at angles. The tomb is topped with scroll finials and has armorial reliefs on each end, along with an egg and dart frieze beneath a projecting cornice. There are extensive remains of early paint on the structure. This tomb is noted as one of the finest and largest Neo-classical monuments in Kensal Green Cemetery and represents an early example of an outdoor aristocratic tomb in a public cemetery.
