Description
The Tomb of John Collett, dating from around 1840, is located in Kensal Green Cemetery. It was erected in memory of Collett's first wife, Emma, and features an aedicule on a base that consists of a chest with panelled angle pilasters. The Doric aedicule has an entablature and a pedimental roof supported by fluted columns, enclosing an inner unadorned block. The outer rails and posts are also made of Portland stone. This distinguished late Neo-classical monument reflects the influence of French designs. John Collett, a Whig/Liberal Member of Parliament, tragically took his own life in 1866.
